Interviews take place all year round, so you can apply whenever it suits you. But you should allow at least four to six months before you want your placement to begin. Your exact departure date will depend on your host family’s requirements.
You also need to start collecting the following documents / items to upload to your application:
A profile photo (smile please) and 4-6 family and childcare photos
At least 3 references (reference forms are available to download on AuPair Member Zone)
Medical Form (form available to download on AuPair Member Zone)
Your latest school, academic and/or vocational certificates or diplomas
Copy of your full driving license
A criminal record check certificate
A copy of your passport
You should also start thinking about making a short video clip for your application.
Once you have completed your online application, you can attend your Au Pair in USA Interview with your local interviewer.
What happens next?
Once you have been accepted onto the program, you will start communicating with potential host families
Once you have selected a host family, we will advise you when to visit the US Embassy in your country to submit your visa application
