The best part of being an Au Pair is immersing into a new culture: learning new customs, traditions and foods! It’s a wonderful experience that makes lifelong memories. At Adanac Au Pair, we are partnered with agencies around the world. Each country has it’s own program with different offers and requirements. Through the next few blog posts, we will be exploring each country and explaining what these programs are all about!

To begin, we will be going down under to Australia! This program is suited for those who want to work between 6-12 months (can be extending to 24 months) and who have experience with children of all ages. This program has an in person orientation in Sydney where they will help set you up for success for your time abroad! They are looking for Au Pairs to arrive in Winter/Spring, so if you are a student who is finishing a Fall semester, this program is perfect for you!
