Frequent Questions About Hiring an Au Pair in Virginia

Au Pair USA offers our program throughout the United States. Get started or call 1-800-287-2477 to find out if we service your area.

All au pairs come to the U.S. on the J-1 Exchange Visitor Visa, which is a non-immigrant visa granted by the U.S. Department of State. InterExchange functions as the visa sponsor for the au pair and will guide the au pair on how to apply for a J-1 au pair visa at the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.

We are very selective about who is accepted into our program. Our au pair screening process involves each au pair completing an extensive application and undergoing a thorough background check in addition to an in-person interview. This information is available to families during the matching process.

Before arriving in the U.S., au pairs attend Au Pair USA's Online Academy. The 32-hour curriculum includes courses in Child Development, Pediatric and Adult CPR and First Aid Training, American Culture, Life as an Au Pair, Personal Safety, and other important topics.

Our Online Academy is custom-designed for au pairs and uses a variety of training methods, including live sessions with Au Pair USA staff, videos, online courses, and offline activities. The Online Academy meets the Department of State's training requirements.

Our incredible network of caring Local Coordinators are committed to cultural exchange and helping our families and au pairs have a successful experience. If you feel something isn't working or have a problem, please contact your Local Coordinator for advice and assistance. In many instances, issues between families and au pairs can be resolved by talking through a situation. If a situation isn't able to be resolved, our team will work closely with you and your au pair.
