USA
Become an Au Pair in the United States of America and take the opportunity to live the American Dream. You will spend one year in an American family, enjoying the daily American way of life and understand all the aspects that makes this country famous and successful.
Live in one of the USA’s many fantastic cities from Boston to Washington and Philadelphia - enjoy cities full of history. Or why not spend your year in the water with a family in Florida or California? If you like to ski and snowboard you should definitely consider Vermont or Colorado! New York is well worth a visit as it has a cultural beat second to none and one of the fashion capitals of the world.
As you travel through the USA you can explore the desert of Arizona, as well as climb the snowy summits of Vermont or explore the plains of Montana. You will also discover the American melting-pot:; the Mormons of the Utah, the Latinos of Los Angeles, and the WASPS from Boston… all living in the same country and having the same feeling of belonging. Go to the far west and enjoy the pioneer mentality, and explore vibrant cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Travel to the middle of the USA and discover National Parks, from the Grand Canyon to the Yosemite Park, where everything has an excessive size and a spectacular beauty; wide landscapes, arid deserts, old forests and giant cactus - you will see that everything is possible here. Finally, make sure to go to Las Vegas, a city in the middle of a desert which is truly an American icon.
