FIND A FAMILY

We support young Spaniards to leave the family home so that they can undertake a personal and cultural challenge. They will learn new languages, life models and other cultures that will add value and experiences to their lives. We also assist young foreigners who wish to come to Mallorca to learn or improve their Spanish together with the local population. The au pair will always have a set schedule, a weekly allowance and a room in the family home.

There is no better way of learning a language.

Would you like to improve your English in the United States? Through our international network of Au Pair Mallorca, we offer you the possibility of being part of the Au Pair program in the USA. You will improve your English and will be able to enjoy free time for sightseeing and meeting new friends.

It is required to pass an interview at the US Embassy in Madrid, so it is difficult to mark a travel date on the calendar. Don’t worry, there are departures every month! The duration of the visa is 12 months, so the families have the help of the au pair during this period with their respective holidays. On the 13th month of stay you can, with your au pair visa, dedicate yourself to travel.
