Au Pair Program

The Au Pair Program is a cultural exchange program that has long been recognized worldwide. It provides young people with a limited budget the opportunity to live with a host family abroad, experience local culture, and improve their foreign language skills.

The Quality Association for Au Pair, founded with the support of the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women, and Youth (BMFSFJ), is an association of state-recognized providers of au pair programs.
