Embrace your passion for travel and children and experience a new life overseas on our Au Pair & Nanny in France trip. Become part of a French household and help care for the children of a local, loving family whilst you form a close bond with the host parents. Spend your days off roaming through the quaint villages, indulging in croissants & baguettes or taking the kids on a sunset picnic near iconic landmarks.
We offer the complete package for those wondering how to become an au pair in France. We ensure you are matched with a safe, welcoming, English speaking host family. Our team will get you sorted with all the essentials, from au pair visa assistance, to finding an approved host family before you go, bank account advice, accommodation nights to use when you please, 24/7 support, and more. You’ll be more than ready to begin your exciting adventure as an au pair in France. Plus, regularly chat with your host family prior to taking off, so you’ll know all about them before you meet them face-to-face!
Completely immerse yourself in a new culture, make lifelong friends and, best of all, break away from your usual routine back home as you embark on an adventure to au pair in Paris or in other locations around France. With the freedom to explore the country’s natural beauty in your time off or paid trips with your host family, this experience is perfect for a first-time traveller or someone ready to experience a genuine, local French lifestyle.
Arrive prepared to be the best au pair you can. Undertake a 4-hour fun, interactive & informative digital course and learn everything you need to know, before you go.

Our Au Pair in France trip is a cultural exchange designed to get you set up safely and securely abroad with a welcoming, English speaking host family. Our expert team offers assistance with all those essentials you need to get set up overseas, like finding the perfect host family and 24/7 support to live-in accommodation. Simply, we’re here to ensure your transition to living abroad in France is seamless.
Arrive into the country with the confidence that you are many steps ahead of every other person looking to be an au pair in France. We offer you the security of an approved placement with a local pre-screened and loving host family, accommodation and an agreement set up before you’ve even left home! With the hard work done for you, you can settle into your home-away-from-home straight away, get to know your new family and embrace the French lifestyle with open arms. Our expert team will guide you throughout the entire journey to ensure you feel confident knowing you are in the best hands possible.
With most of your living expenses covered, you can spend your earnings exploring the natural beauty of France, touring the different landscapes and joining your family on weekend getaways. Don’t waste your precious time sweating the logistical stuff. That’s exactly why we’re here - to save you time, money, stress and even the risk of having to return home early. Make your time count on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and prepare to immerse yourself in the laid back and relaxed culture, foster your personal growth and develop important life skills your future-self will thank you for!
The only bad part of any life-changing trip like this is having to come home, now you don’t have to (straight away)! When you’ve finished your placement in France, we can rematch you with a brand new family in the Netherlands, if you wish to extend your trip. To take advantage of this 2 for 1 trip extension you simply have to commit to a minimum of 8 months in the Netherlands and give us 3 months notice. You can even decide to do it when you’re overseas! When you’re in the Netherlands you’ll earn a stipend of €340 per month, and have your health insurance and language lessons covered by the family.
To qualify for this trip, you will need to have 14 days of proveable child-caring experience, have your high school certificate or diploma and meet the visa requirements. EU passport holders do not require a visa. As an au pair, you can not smoke or have suffered from any mental health or eating disorders in the last 2 years. You'll be required to obtain and pass a medical examination as proof.
Flights, travel insurance, visa, criminal background check, souvenirs & spending money.
You could be placed anywhere across the most romantic city on earth, Paris. Or you could find yourself based in the playground of the rich & famous in Monaco!

Why not give yourself something to look forward to by booking that trip!
Yes you can! Simply tell your Trip Coordinator after booking that your friend is also going and they can link your profiles. For most of our trips we should be able to have you and your friends placed together or nearby. Meaning that you can live, work, play & travel together!
But wait there's more! Not only can you travel the world with your besties at your side, you can also earn some extra cash towards your own trip just by referring your friends to Global Work & Travel. You can learn more about the great referral rewards program inside your gWorld account once you join.
And for those who decide to go-it-solo, we’ve made it easier to meet other Global Travellers in the same region as you. Just like any other social platform, you’ll be able to interact, share, chat and meet with some really cool people who are doing trips just like you!
If you have to make any changes to your departure date, you’re protected with our Lifetime Deposit Guarantee and our Ultimate Corona Booking Flexibility. With this, we will change your trip dates for free. If this doesn’t fit around you and you can’t go on your trip anymore, we will give you a 100% refund in the form of a Trip Credit with us (See terms). If you’re unable to use it, you can also transfer that credit to someone else for them to put towards any trip too.
If you’re affected by Covid-19 while you’re overseas, you will have all the support you need from our team or partners in-country as well as have access to our 24/7 Global Emergency Line. We recommend travellers purchase Global Travel Cover travel insurance that provides Covid-19 medical protection too.
As border restrictions for countries begin to ease, being fully vaccinated will maximise the number of locations you can visit. So while you are not legally required to be vaccinated, and it’s also not a requirement to travel with us, it will limit some of the countries that you can visit and may make it harder to travel through over the next 12-18 months. We highly recommend our travellers look at the current travel restrictions of their destination, speak with a medical professional or get in touch with our team for travel advice.
Our Ultimate Corona Booking Flexibility means you can change your trip’s start date up to 84* days before departure without incurring any charges when you rebook it for any time (or even any other trip) in the next 2 years from your original start date.
In the event that you want to cancel your booking altogether, if you give us over 84* days notice you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee. Your refund of the balance will come in the form of a Store Credit which you can put towards booking absolutely anything travel related with your Travel Concierge within the next 2 years!
*Some select trips excluded, including Teach (Spain, Italy & Czech Republic) and USA (Summer Camp, Working Holiday and Hotel Professional), and others as listed in Booking Conditions.
