Au Pair USA is inviting all incoming au pairs to spend three days together in New York City before heading to their host families. Introducing the New York Experience! You will explore one of the most iconic cities in the world, meet other au pairs, and gain the confidence to begin one of the biggest adventures of your lives.
We designed the New York Experience to give you time to breathe, connect, and feel ready before you arrive to your host family.
You will meet other au pairs who are stepping into the same journey. You will ease your nerves, share your excitement, and talk through your questions. And by the time you arrive at your host family, you will already feel a little more at home.
You arrive together. From the moment you land, you are part of a group. That first evening, you share a meal with Au Pair USA staff and fellow au pairs from around the world. The friendships start to form and any nervousness begins to fade.
You explore New York City. You’ll enjoy one full day in Manhattan visiting it’s epic landmarks with a professional guide, and a group of new friends. Is there a better way to start your American adventure?
You get ready for your year. You will take part in interactive sessions designed to help you feel confident and prepared. You will learn what to expect, how to communicate, and how to make the most of your year ahead. You will also receive some special welcome gifts from Au Pair USA when you arrive.
Travel to your host family. On the last day, you say goodbye to your new friends and hello to the next chapter. Au Pair USA staff are there, in person, to make sure you stay on course.
What Our Au Pairs Say
In their own words, here is what a few of the au pairs had to say about their New York Experience. (And yes, the hoodie is part of the welcome gift!)
The New York Experience marks several beginnings at once: the launch of something new for Au Pair USA, a special start for our participants, and an exciting new adventure for you to consider!
If you are thinking about becoming an au pair, this is just a small preview of what your journey could look like: new friends, an amazing city, and the confidence to start your year strong. And if the first three days are that powerful, just imagine what a whole year can bring.
