Cultural Care Au Pair is the largest designated sponsor of the U.S. State Department-regulated au pair program. For 35 years, they have placed more than 175,000 au pairs in the homes of American host families, creating memories and cross-cultural connections that last a lifetime.

Au pairs are young people between the ages of 18-26 who come to the U.S. for 12 months on cultural exchange visas via the Cultural Care Au Pair program and have the option to extend their program for another 12, 9 or 6-month term. They provide up to 45 hours a week of childcare service; schedules are flexible and can be individualized to each family's needs.

The au pair program presents young people abroad with the opportunity to experience everyday American life while continuing their education; for host families, they receive flexible, personalized childcare from individuals that become part of the family. For all participants, the program facilitates the sharing of cultures, traditions, and genuine care.
