Being an Au Pair

Becoming an au pair is an enriching experience where you have the chance to work with children, learn about the education system, travel around New Zealand and make lasting memories and friendships. Teaching abroad and caring for children is the perfect job for those who want to gain skills and experience a new culture during their gap year or over their travels.
