Bonjour,
je suis à la recherche de jeunes français entre 18 et 26ans pour partir en tant qu'aupair aux usa. Je connais des familles seulement interessées à prendre des français pour un an au minimum..
Si ca vous tente faites signe et je vous guiderai vers ces familles.
:)
Alors bien sur que je connais toutes les "regulations" étant donné que je suis moi même passé par là.. et bien sur que je sais qu'il est obligatoire de passer par une agence...!
Je travaille pour Usaupair France, une des 5 agences autorisées à envoyer des aupairs/étudiants à l'étranger (verifiable sur le site de l'ambassade!)
D'autres questions??
J'ai été voir le site dont tu parles.
On n'apprend pas grand chose......
Saviez vous que la plusparte d'agences aupair vous demandent entre 200 et 500 Eur pour traiter votre dossier? Pas nous! Nos frais des dossier sont moins cheres que ça!
mais ça revient à combien à un jeune qui voudrait s’inscrire ?
Permit de conduire, ça s'écrit avec un S.
Je comprends, en allant sur le site, que Usaupair a besoin d'un intermédiaire....
Le site d'usaupair est en anglais! Il n'existe pas de site francais à ma connaissance à part s'il est tenu par un agent situé au "Nord"! tu es allé sur quel site??? je te trouve bien agressif(ve) ds tes réponses, je ne vois pas du tout ce qu'il y a de mal à vouloir faire partager son expérience à d'autres et à les aider à partir! Suis-je en train de faire qqch de mal???? si oui, ds ce cas là, toutes les agences d'aupairs font de même!
Les frais de dossier de Usaupair s'élèvent pour l'aupair à 170€! donc effectivement, le site que tu as trouvé (et dont je n'ai pas connaissance!) dit bien vrai! c'est bcp moins cher que les autres agences, c'est d'ailleurs pour ca que moi même j'étais parti avec eux!
as tu d'autres reproches à me faire ou à faire aux agences d'aupairs en général??? Il serait bon de te rappeller que certes je me sers de forum pour trouver des condidats pour partir ds des familles, alors que d'autre agences n'hésitent pas à mentir en proposant sur des sites des familles bidons qui n'existent pas... Mais puisque tu m'as l'air aussi doué que moi ds la question, tu as du en faire l'expérience!
Enfin contrairement à ce que tu as répondu precedemment, Usaupair prend aussi des aupairs masculins!
;)
contrairement à ce que tu as répondu precedemment, Usaupair prend aussi des aupairs masculins!
Je n'ai pas parlé d'Usaupair.... j'ai parlé de STS et Cultural Care et j'ai bien précisé qu'en cherchant sur internet il y a certainement d'autres agences....
Je ne sais pas qui est la plus agressive de nous 2!
voici le site officiel de mon agence: http://www.usaupair.com/ l'autre site que tu as trouvé a certainement du etre fait par un autre agent d'usaupair. Usaupair travaille également avec "Solution Au Pair" basé en Nord Pas de Calais.
Pour ma part, ce n'est pas de l'agressivité, j'ai l'impression que tu insinues que mon travail n'existe pas et que je parle sur ce forum pour le fun.. Je me trompe sans doute.. Mais en même temps je comprends tout à fait le fait que tu (vous) soit (soyez) sceptique(s) étant donné que c'est une agence américaine et non française contrairement aux autres et que celle-ci est peu connu ici. J'aurai été à ta place, j'aurai eu le mm doute!
Apres bien entendu ca n'engage que moi et ma parole, ms pourtant les faits sont là, je suis partie avec eux ya plusieurs années et mon séjour s'est tres bien passé.. en faisant tes recherches tu as du certainement trouver d'autres filles parties avec cette agence. Elle est seulement spécialisée en placement d'aupair et ne propose pas de sejours linguisitiques, de cours ds des universités ou autres...
J'ai voulu essayer les forums pour trouver du monde car des familles cherchent des filles/garcons aupair francais et que la plupart du tps c'est sur les forum que l'on se renseigne quant à comment partir.. mais apparement, ce n'est pas une tres bonne idée!
bonjour, je suis interéssée par cet opportunité mais j'aimerais en savoir un peu plus sur l'organisme qui recrute et qui envoe les jeunes dans ce pays car de nos jours, des malades; y'en a partout ! merci
tu pourras trouver les informations que tu cherches sur le site www.usaupair.com. Si toutefois tu souhaiterai parler à des personnes parties avec usaupair donnes moi tes coordonnées mail et je t'enverrai l'email de filles sur place ou même de mon ancienne famille d'accueil (elle ne cherche pas d'aupair actuellement ms elle pourra t'éclairer et te rassurer sur cette expérience).
Je suis très interressée pour partir aux usa pour au minimun 6 mois.J'espère que votre proposition est sérieuse.Merci de me tenir au courant au plus vite
salut Alex,
Je m'apelle Chrystelle, j'ai 23 ans et je suis actuellement AuPair en Australie...

Si tu as des infos a me donner ou les coordonnees de certaines famille n'hesites pas a me faire signe !

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...
What price should I expect to pay for a modest small apartment or a large room in a bedroom community in Quito? Are restaurants and food expensive? And which airline is best to travel from Montreal? Thanks for your answers
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!
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has already had the experience of working abroad?
I don’t have a specific country in mind yet, so I’m open to hearing about your experiences on this topic—the pros and cons, etc.
Hi there!
I’m a young Malian looking to work in Morocco. Besides a passport, what other documents are required at the **Moroccan** border?
Thanks for your help!
Hi there. I’m planning to move to Luxembourg around December 2025 or January 2026. I’ll be looking for a job and settling in. My question is: is it too complicated to find housing? Is the job market more advantageous and easier than in France? I’m open to any information that could help me.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
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?
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!
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.?
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.
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!!
Hi there,
I’ve been living in Bali for a month now, but unfortunately on a VOA visa. I’m looking for a European company that’s set up in Indonesia. I’m in electrotechnical maintenance—air conditioning, cold rooms, 220V/380V electricity. I’ve been a tradesperson for 3 months and can bring my full professional toolkit. If anyone’s interested, let me know!
You can send me a message.
Best regards,
I’d love to go to Japan to travel, and if things go well, work there too.
Has anyone tried finding a job there? Is it even possible without speaking Japanese?
I’m thinking of starting out in restaurants (dishwashing or serving) and then moving into my field, IT.
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?
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! 🥺🏻
I'm looking for an au pair who'd like to come to Bournemouth in the south of England, and I'd love to know what the best websites are to find one, please.
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?
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?
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.
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,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
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!^^
