"What I love about New York City are the beautiful buildings, the theaters, and the nature of Central Park, I was so surprised to see how kind people are in my area. My fondest memory of being an au pair in New York are from the days I spent with the other au pairs exploring the city—we had so much fun and laughed a lot! I’d recommend this state to anyone who loves adventure—New York is full of it!”

Italian au pair in NY
"The best thing about this program is not only that I developed my English skills. For me it's more about meeting new fascinating people from different countries, getting to know their culture or simply having new friends from all around the world. It's also the way we, as au pairs in the US, can explore this big country, visiting places that we saw in series or movies, places that had been on our screen, now they can be in our memories."

Polish au pair in Brooklyn, NY
"What I love most about being an au pair in NYC is how vibrant the state is, that you can meet lots of different people with different backgrounds and learn a lot from them. You have plenty of experiences to live and lots of places to try. I especially really enjoyed the winter in New York state because the city is magical with snow and around Christmas time, I would recommend my state to people who love experiencing different things everyday and to those who have an active and outgoing personality.”

Giulia
Italian au pair in NY
"The best thing about being an au pair is the opportunity to fully experience a new culture while becoming part of a real family. Unlike traveling as a tourist, being an au pair allows you to live like a local. You celebrate holidays, learn traditions from the inside, improve your language skills, and see everyday life in a completely different way. It’s a deep cultural exchange, not just a short visit."

“My host family is the best I could've ever dreamed of!
They are the sweetest, kind and funny family, they really make me feel one of them. I’m so grateful about my host family, I feel so happy to be living this experience with them, one of the best memories that I have with them is when we went to Vermont and I tried snowboarding for the first time ever, we also went to Mexico and we had the best time together. I’m learning a lot from them, and I'm so happy, excited and grateful to have found this amazing family to live this experience with.
Another memory that lives in my mind is when we went to see the lion king musical, one of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever thought about, we had a tour backstage with the kids and it was AMAZING. I’ve been living a dream! Thank you to my host family❤️🩹"
