Au Pair in the USA without agency
Please note: you can not become an Au Pair in the USA on a Tourist Visa or ESTA. You can also only become an Au Pair for a minimum of 12 months, a shorter placement is not possible, due to the visa requirements.
If a Host Family tries to bring you to the USA without the help of a designated agency, they are breaking the law. If you are coming to the US to work as an Au Pair outside of the J1 program, you are committing visa fraud which can result in fines, deportation and you may not be approved for any future U.S. visas. Further, if you are not coming to the US on the appropriate visa, you will have no support system available. When coming to the US legally on the
J1 program, you will have a safety and support network (U.S. Department of State overseeing the program, the US agency, local representatives in your area). The Host Family you will be placed in will have been screened by the agency prior to ensure your safety and well-being.
The contract and the insurance are fundamental parts of your stay abroad, especially in the USA. Find out what the official US Au Pair program says regarding these topics.
