Become an Au Pair in Australia


Do you want to travel and earn money at the same time? Add to that great combo, a loving host family where you will have all of your meals, a private bedroom and all the support you need. You can have all of this and more when you become an Au Pair in Australia.

Some au pairs talk about the bond they form with their host family can last a lifetime. As an au pair, you can participate in family activities, share cultures, make friends in your new community and with other au pairs in the area - a built-in social network to make your time abroad a lot more fun, exciting and rewarding.

Becoming an au pair in Australia is a serious position. While you do get paid to travel, your main responsibilities are the children you care for. While you might consider yourself patient, fun-loving and perfect for a job like this, think about how responsible you are and your previous experience with children under your care. If you’re ready, there are incredible families who need you right away, living in amazing locations in Australia.

Au Pairs in Australia must:

  • Be between 18 and 30 with at least a high school diploma. Currently Au Pairs on this program must be female. 
  • Have previous childcare/babysitting experience, and a genuine love of children. 
  • Be able to commit to 6 months as an au pair. 
  • Provide a medical reference and a background check. 
  • Be interviewed by phone or Skype to be accepted by the family. 
  • Have driving experience
  • Have a working holiday visa, which you can actually get online.
