An unmarried young person between the ages 18 and 25, looking to take a gap year and come to Canada to live with a host family. The host family provides room/board and wages, and in return the Au Pair provides childcare services and light housekeeping. The goal is for the Au Pair to experience Canadian culture and develop a relationship with their host family. Placements can be between 6 months and 1 year. Available for part time or full time placement. 

We work with trusted partner agencies in many exciting international destinations to help Canadian applicants find meaningful au pair placements overseas. Whether you’re hoping to experience life in Europe, the UK, or beyond, we provide guidance on the application process, matching, and placement expectations so you can begin your journey with confidence. 

Helping Hands supports international applicants seeking au pair placements with Canadian host families. Applicants must hold a valid passport from a country eligible for Canada’s Working Holiday (IEC) visa, as visa sponsorship is not provided. We encourage all applicants to verify eligibility directly with IRCC before applying.
