Combine work and travel in this excellent opportunity! Stay with a hospitable family that provides you with a cozy home, meals, and complete support. Receive all these and more when working as an au pair in Australia. For 6 to 12 months, you will take on a position wherein your responsibility is caring for children.

Au Pair
by: Natalie Parks - AustraliaProgram: Work as an Au Pair in AustraliaI had the out most best experience in Australia living and working as a nanny I loved it so much i am currently trying to move out there permanently on a skilled working visa. My family was amazing and the staff with geovisions offered so much support and guidance I want to do it again or try another program!
Lots of fun - ask lots of questions
by: Madison Stewart - AustraliaProgram: Work as an Au Pair in AustraliaI wish I had asked what the weather is like on a daily basis. I brought too many of the wrong clothes. Also make sure you know how much time you are actually going to have with the kids because it gets quite boring not doing anything for 6 hours of the day 3 days a week, unless you want to go out to the city all the time. GeoVisions makes it easy to communicate with your host family before you leave home, but I would recommend asking lots of detailed questions to the family. My host family bought me a car to use while I was here to help drop off and pick up the kids and they put a GPS in my car to help me get around or get back home if I got lost, but I don't use it that often it's not that hard to get around. Make sure your first priority is the kids, they are always the main priorities always making sure they are safe and healthy and eating good nutritional food. If you do that, the remainder of your time will be fun.
Finding myself a little more each day
by: Shannon Campbell - EnglandProgram: Work as an Au Pair in AustraliaMy friends at home are constantly asking me if I am out seeing everything I came here to see. I always say yes and no... because I have already seen a lot, but have a lot left on my list to see. Many people go 'aw that sucks I hope you see everything!' But this experience has been so amazing that even though I have not seen everything I want to see, I am so happy where I am and very comfortable with my host family! That said, I have seen the Newcastle beaches many times, and have been up to the Hunter Valley where my host family is moving, but there are also beautiful vineyards and many Kangaroos. I recommend this program highly. I'm finding myself a little more each day and the program lets me do that. And I still have 5 months left, and it's exciting to think about who next I'll meet.
