Au Pair Gap Year Programs
Becoming an au pair during a gap year is a rewarding way to experience life abroad while gaining childcare experience. Au pair programs provide housing, meals, and a stipend in exchange for caring for a family’s children. This cultural exchange offers the chance to build close relationships, improve language skills, and live like a local in a new country. Whether you’re interested in Europe, the Americas, or beyond, au pairing makes travel affordable and enriching.
