Gapwork Gap Year Jobs Tips: Au Pair Work in America

The only legal way to work as an au pair or nanny in the USA is to register with a sponsoring agency. Most agencies will help you sort out an Exchange Visitor J1 Visa, which is the easiest form of visa you will need for working in the USA as a UK student. Most Au Pair Organisations will stipulate that you combine working as an Au Pair with study at a USA college or university, in fact, it is usually a visa condition - so you can take a gap year, work as an Au Pair, further your studies and see what life is like in the good old USA! Sounds like a pretty good gap year to us!
