An au pair will typically be a young woman and sometimes a young man from a foreign country who chooses to help look after the children of a host family and provide light housekeeping. The au pair is given room and board and is typically paid a weekly "pocket-money" salary. Au pairs generally stay with their host family for one year.    

Being an Au-Pair is ideal for an "in between" working holiday gap year, in which you can earn a regular income, meet other international Au-Pairs and get to know the country from your family base.

Aceglobal offers Au Pair Programs in USA, Australia and New Zealand.

Over 60,000 au pairs from over 55 countries have participated on the Au Pair Program to the US. Under this program, au pairs are welcomed into the homes of American Host Families as a family member for a 12 month cultural exchange under the J-1 visa. This is the only way to go to the USA as an au pair legally. Au pairs participate in cultural and educational activities designed to teach them about American life, and they assist with child care.

Whether you’re looking for a year out or want to work legally abroad, our program give you plenty of free time to explore, study, travel and make new friends - plus you have support throughout your stay. The US is a great and diverse country with so much to see and experience!

New Zealand society is diverse, sophisticated and multicultural. New Zealanders are well known for their honesty, friendliness and sense of family. With only 4 Million people in a country approximately the size of Japan or Great Britain, New Zealand is uncrowded and untouched. As the last major country to be discovered in the world – New Zealand is fresh, young and unspoilt.

Film producers have chosen the natural beauty of New Zealand as the backdrop for several major feature films, including The Lord of the Rings trilogy, King Kong and The Chronicles of Narnia.

In a recent survey conducted by Mercer, Auckland (New Zealand’s largest city) was ranked as the fourth best city in the world for quality of living. The ranking is based on 39 different factors including natural environment, political and social environment, socio-cultural environment, housing and education.
