Becoming an Au Pair means choosing a way to travel abroad that is safer and more secure when you are between 18 and 30 years old.
As an au pair, you are immersed in a host family, you are housed, fed and cleaned. You receive pocket money and in exchange, you help your host family by taking care of the children.
Becoming an au pair also means acquiring new skills that will help you in your future professional experiences.
If you are a non european citizen, becoming an au pair opens your rights to a long term visa for France. A one-year visa will be issued. Your stay as an au pair can be extended to a maximum of two years. Now French Au Pair visa is open in Australia, New Zeland, Canada, UK, United States.

By becoming an au pair or au pair boy, you have a unique opportunity to travel economically.
The au pair program allows you to be immersed in a different country and culture at a lower cost. Your host family (sometimes even your insurance depending on the country) will cover the costs of accommodation and food. You receive pocket money which allows you to travel and also to take language courses if you wish (and thus obtain a diploma attesting to your level).
The support of an agency will also allow you to answer all your questions, to prepare your journey as well as possible and to ensure you of a follow-up and assistance in the event of problem.
Costs to keep in mind :
Possibility to choose your host family freely
Coverage of health insurance by the family if you come to France
Assistance in case of problems during your stay
