What exactly is a gap year?

You might be wondering: what is a ‘gap year’? Well, picture this: you’ve finished high school, or you need a break from whatever it is you’re doing right now. You’re feeling restless and in need of some adventure – then you’ll know – it’s time to go on a ‘gap year’!

A gap year is all about spreading your wings, seeing other places, meeting new people, and learning countless things books cannot teach you. It’s about getting to know yourself and what you want and need from life.

During your ‘gap year’ as an au pair, you’ll not only experience fabulous new cultures and lifestyles, but also grow and gain skills that’ll stick with you for the rest of your life! Learn a new language? Check! Create lifelong friendships? Double-check!

Best of all? Life as an au pair gives you a boost of independence and self-confidence. You’re no longer just a student; you’re an explorer, an adventurer, a global citizen. 🌎

A budget-friendly gap year

A host family and their au pair stand together around the kitchen counter.
We bet you've been hearing about gap year programs from left and right, but we also know what big price tags come with it. And that's exactly why you should consider becoming an au pair!
Being an au pair during your gap year is all about adventures and lifetime experiences without emptying your bank account! It's a win-win adventure and you'll even get paid for it! Sure, you help with taking care of the kids and clean out the dishwasher, but you'll gain so much more!

You learn a new language, meet people you'll never forget, and live the dream of exploring different countries. Funny thing is, when we ask our au pairs what they loved most about their adventure, they usually talk about their host family. As an au pair you get to be a part of a loving family, embracing their culture while sharing yours. You can make a real difference if you let yourself!

Meet Galuh - one of our amazing au pairs

She left her job of eight years and decided to go on an adventure as an au pair in the Netherlands. At thirty years old. That’s bold!

Check out how she chased her dream job as an au pair, all the way to the small country of the Netherlands! Despite battling the new (sometimes horrific) climate and learning the tricky Dutch language, her experience was one she’ll never forget.
