Original post
Bonsoir, je suis nouvelle ici, et j'aimerais beaucoup que vous puissiez m'aider.
Alors j'ai 14ans, et je voudrais savoir a propos des jeunes filles au pair, oui je sais c'est a partir de 18ans, mais c'est pour des renseignement.
Alors j'aimerais un jour pouvoir être jeune fille au pair au USA, surtout NY ou de préférence Miami.
Je voudrais savoir si la durée d'un séjour dur obligatoirement minimun 12mois, parceque je préfèrerais entre 6-10mois, pas 1ans.
Et si en même pas 1ans on est alaise en anglais on le comprend et parle bien, je veut dire avec fluidité.
Et si je peu prendre des cours d'anglais, ou d'autres étude entre temps, merci de m'aider, surtout je voudrais savoir la durée des séjours.
Merci.
Thank you.
Grazie.
ありがとう .
Bonjour,
Oui, c'est obligatoire de partir un an (en fait c'est le gouvernement américain qui l'impose). C'est la famille qui te choisi donc tu ne peux pas décider de ta destination.
Au bout d'un an, ton niveau d'anglais sera nettement amélioré: tu pourras facilement tenir une conversation et comprendre aisément les gens ainsi qu'argumenter sans problème. Même en y passant que 2 ou 3 mois d'affilée, tu progresses déjà beaucoup. Le tout, c'est de fréquenter le moins de francophones possible et de multiplier les occasions de parler anglais (sorties, discussions avec la famille, cours...). C'est possible de prendre quelques heures de cours par semaine, la famille te donne 500$ pour financer l'inscription dans une école.

Merci vraiment de l'avoir de répondu. Tu as entendu parler de '' Au pair in america'' il me semble que cette agence laisse le choix de la ville ou l'état, si tu y connais quelque chose à son sujet n'hésite pas.
Et imaginons que j'y vais vers début août, es-ce-que je peut prendre en quelque sorte un congé pour rentrer en France, pour passer un concour ou examens par exemples.
Désoler si je pose trop de questions. Merci encore🙂🙂
Tu as deux semaines de congés dans l'année mais je ne suis pas sure que tu choisisses les dates.
Après, c'est un avis personnel mais je te conseille plutôt de partir au début de tes études (car moins de concours) parce que quand tu bosses 45h par semaine, le WE tu aspires à faire autre chose que réviser pour un concours important (comme voyager ou rencontrer d'autres au pair). 😛
Effectivement, avec Au Pair In America, ils disent que tu choisis ta famille mais rien ne dit qu'il y en aura une qui, à la fois, te conviendra et sera dans un coin qui t’attires. De plus, il ne faut pas oublier que le lieu n'est pas le plus important. Tu vas vivre 7 jours/7 dans une famille et bosser pour eux donc mieux vaut tomber sur une bonne famille dans un coin moins "attractif" que Miami que travailler pour des gens pas sympas.

En Angleterre, tu n'as pas besoin de visa pour travailler donc tu peux partir pour la durée que tu veux (tu n'es pas non plus obligée de passer par un organisme même si c'est recommandé). Même chose pour l'Irlande.
Pour l'Australie même chose mais là tu dois demander un visa vacances-travail. Idem pour la Nouvelle-Zélande.
Je serais plus nuancée sur les USA.
C'est vrai que les agences ne placent que pour 12 mois, durée légale oblige, mais si tu trouves une famille toute seule vous vous arrangez entre vous.
Après, je recommande de passer par une agence pour les USA, mais c'est à toi de voir.
Pour ce qui est du choix du lieu, ce n'est pas la famille qui te choisit.
L'agence propose ton profil aux familles d'accueil. Les familles intéressées te contactent. Tu discutes avec elles et si ça colle avec une famille vous vous mettez d'accord et vous contactez l'agence chacun de votre côté pour dire que vous avez "matchés".
Donc tu ne peux pas te retrouver contre ton gré au fin fond du Texas. Mais si tu es trop exigeante sur ta destination tu risques de ne jamais partir.
Hope this helps !

Et comment elle fait pour le visa si elle trouve une famille pour 6 mois ? 😇

Et bien justement, elle ne peut pas avoir un visa J1, c'est là que les arrangements avec la famille commencent.
Partir au pair avec un visa tourisme de 3 mois c'est faisable. Illégal et risqué mais faisable 🙂.
Je l'ai dit et je le répète, je recommande vraiment de passer par une agence. C'est bien plus rentable en terme d'argent mais aussi de sécurité.
Mais si c'est 6 mois ou rien et que tu as le goût du risque...😛

Oui mais pour 6 mois, il faut obtenir un visa B2 et là c'est nettement moins faisable que de raconter des cracks à l'immigration (ce qui est déjà un vrai défi selon sur qui tu tombes).

En effet. Un visa B2 il faudra qu'elle ait un entretien à l'ambassade et expliquer ce qu'elle ira faire pendant 6 mois aux États-Unis...et surtout avec quels moyens $$$

On peut partir 6 mois ? Vraiment ? Comment fait t'on, je veux dire quel visa, les arrangements avec les familles, comment sont les agences pour ce type d'arrangement, je veux c'est risqué quand même.. Trouver une famille seule, surtout si il y a des problèmes avec cette dernière..
Pour l'Australie? vu que se serait ma seconde options après les USA. J'ai cru comprendre grâce au précédant message, que on peut partir pour des durées de 6 à 12 mois?
Oui c'est possible et oui c'est risqué.
Voilà ce qu'en dit un au pair aux USA:
Ou alors, vous pouvez passer par des sites gratuits mais après c’est un peu le Far-West. Vous n’aurez pas de contrat, donc si votre host-family vous vire, c’est VOTRE problème. Et, ça arrive, malheureusement. Mais je connais également des au pairs pour qui ça a fonctionné comme ça, notamment une qui vit dans ma ville et qui doit par contre retourner tous les trois mois en France refaire un visa touriste.
En gros tu t'inscris sur un site genre AuPairworld et tu cherches ta famille toi même. Quand tu as trouvé une bonne famille tu t'arranges avec elle pour savoir qui paie quoi, sachant que tu as de grandes chances de devoir payer toi-même l'avion, l'assurance et le visa.
Si ça se passe mal avec la famille une fois sur place... tu es mal.
Donc je le déconseille.
Pour l'Australie et la Nouvelle Zélande c'est beaucoup plus simple. Tu fais une demande de visa vacances travail valable 1 an en NZ et jusqu'à 2 ans en Australie. Après tu restes sur place le temps que tu veux. Je n'ai fait que 3 mois en Nouvelle Zélande.
N'hésite pas si tu as d'autres questions !

Aux Etats-Unis, tu ne peux pas car obtenir un visa touristique n'est pas une chose facile et ils savent débusquer ceux qui demandent ce visa pour travailler. (il faut aussi être en mesure de justifier le but touristique de ton séjour).
Pour l'Océanie, tu es libre de partir pour la durée que tu veux tant que ça ne dépasse pas un an.

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄

Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol

Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
