Au Pair Jobs Abroad

The romantic fantasy of living an international life and intimately discovering the hidden treasures of a foreign city is something that many people dream of after a trip abroad, but no need to just visit. Maybe you unexpectedly fell in love with a charming city and can’t help but toss and turn over it or somewhere unexplored is calling your name. Whatever the reason, au pairing is an excellent way to live and work abroad. It is also the perfect way to spend your summer abroad while in school.If you have experience with children, can commit to an extended period of time, and are a native English speaker, you’ll easily find an au pair job abroad, merging wanderlust with work.

The Perfect Start to My Australian Adventure – Highly Recommend!

by: Sophie Laplane - United StatesProgram: Melbourne Gap Year: Paid Work Opportunities in Australia
10

Joining the Melbourne Gap Year tour with Grabatour was the best way to start my working holiday in Australia. From day one, everything was well-organized, and the team made sure we had all the essentials sorted—bank accounts, tax file numbers, SIM cards, and even job support. It took away all the stress of settling in and allowed me to focus on enjoying the experience. The itinerary was a perfect balance of practical help and exciting activities. We explored Melbourne’s vibrant laneways, visited St. Kilda Beach, and got to experience the city’s amazing food and coffee culture. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help with anything we needed. One of the best parts of the tour was the people. I met an incredible group of fellow travelers, and the shared experiences made it easy to form friendships. Even after the tour ended, we stayed in touch and continued exploring Australia together. If you’re planning a working holiday in Australia, I highly recommend this tour. It gives you the perfect start, a great group of friends, and the confidence to begin your adventure the right way!

A Guide to Au Pair Jobs Abroad

Why Au Pair Abroad

The growing need for native English speakers means families all over the world are willing to offer room and board and a weekly stipend in exchange for having an individual to look after their kids and help them to learn English. Most parents want their children to start learning English young, and even though some families may already speak a little English, they often want their kids to become fluent faster and early. Although speaking English is a high priority for most families, there isn’t typically much structure involved to teaching the kids. Families that hire au pairs generally just want a native English speaker to converse with them frequently. The need for au pairs abroad is astonishing and it’s hard to believe that this well-kept secret hasn’t been leaked more prevalently in the States.

Amongst all the amazing benefits like a free place to stay, some meals, feeling like part of the family, and getting paid, au pairs working abroad will also have ample time to explore. Rekindle your passion for the location or start a love affair with a new place.

A Secret Too Good to Keep. It isn’t something a lot of people think about when they imagine living abroad. Though TEFL certification abroad(Teaching English as a Foreign Language)seems to be the most popular route, but often time contracts are longer and placements can be more limited. Plus, a good sized investment is necessary to get started, while beginning work abroad as a nanny only requires the cost of the airfare to get yourself there. Although it is possible to find a host family that will pay for your travel in full, it is very rare. Families may agree to pay for a portion of your travel if you ask, but don’t depend on it.
