What our au pairs have to say

"The best thing about becoming an au pair is connect with others! It is incredible how people you don’t know become a family and same with friends, I love having friends from all over the world. My perspective on the world has completely changed, and I also became more independent. Things you don’t learn in school, like driving and cooking, all improve while you're here. When you become an au pair, you think you’ll have plenty of days to do many things, but in reality, some things only happen once—so make the most of them!”

"I absolutely love the sunsets in Massachusetts; it's my favorite time of day, especially watching Boston fall asleep. I highly recommend it because it's my favorite city. It's not overly touristy, so it's not overrun with tourists like New York, for example, and there are tons of free things to do."

Real stories from Massachusetts

"My experience has been great!

I get along well with the children and the host parents, which is very important. In the short time I've been here I've made amazing friends and had experiences I've always dreamed of. Getting to know New England impresses me more and more every day. Winter is beautiful and I'm looking forward to seeing the seasons to come. I love being in contact with new cultures and being in a place with people from all over the world."
