The Insider’s Guide to Au Pairing in Europe

Au pairing in another country is intimidating. After all, how many people are brave enough to:

• Leave their home

• Move to another country

• And live with a family they’ve never met?

Which is where this guide comes in. This guide will walk you through how to become an au pair — from paperwork to visas to making friends abroad.

Hi, I’m Ashley. I worked as an au pair four times and it was the best decision I’ve ever made.

Because of au pairing, I got to live in France, travel Europe, learn French, and make lifelong friends — which is why I want to teach you how to do it! 

This au pairing guide will teach you how to:

• Find and choose the right family (and tell you which red flags to look out for!)

• Negotiate a contract and salary

• Book a cheap flight to Europe

• Navigate the confusing visa process

• Pack stylishly for a year away

• Make friends once you get there

• Travel on a budget in Europe

• Learn your target language (and how to pick an adult language school!)
