International Au Pair Day is a global celebration of all au pairs and the incredible role they play in fostering cultural exchange around the world.

This year, the theme “New Culture, New Habits, New Me” highlights how living in a new country transforms au pairs’ lives. From adopting new foods, languages, and customs to gaining fresh perspectives, the experiences of au pairs shape who they are long after their time abroad.

  • International Au Pair Day brings together:
  • Au pairs – past, present, and future
  • Host families and their children
  • Au pair agencies, sponsors, and program partners
  • Anyone who believes in the value of cultural exchange
