Au Pair Internships in Buenos Aires

I loved my experience with Mente Argentina! I am in my mid-twenties and recently graduated from college in the US, and Mente helped me set up a prestigious internship in Buenos Aires. I was able to gain valuable work experience and also begin learning Spanish. While in the program, I met some wonderful people that I have kept in touch with for a year now after coming home. It was great to have the Mente program to help me arrange housing and have people to help me navigate moving to a new city and country. Everyone was so nice, and Mente was flexible with what would work best for me. I was also able to have experiences in Buenos Aires that were both authentic to Argentina while also doing many tourist activities through the events that Mente planned each week. I spent 4 months with the Mente Argentina program, and in reality, after 2 months I felt like I could have been on my own. I did the homestay, which was really great, but I didn't know beforehand that I wouldn't be able to use the oven or stove there, so I had to eat out for every meal or have no-cook foods. Overall, I would highly recommend participating in the Mente Argentina program if you are looking for a unique international adventure while still having the safety of a program who knows where you are and can help with anything you need.

I had the incredible opportunity to spend three months with Mente at the start of this year, and the experience was truly unforgettable! As part of my university degree, we were required to spend time abroad in an internship, and Mente made this transition so smooth and effortless. They took the time to find an internship that not only aligned perfectly with my personal interests but also met my university’s specific requirements—making the entire process seamless. During my stay, I lived in a shared apartment, which was a great way to meet new people from different backgrounds. The location was perfect, and it allowed me to explore the city in my free time. One of my favourite parts was the weekly activities organised by Mente. They were always engaging, never repetitive, and catered to a variety of interests. The group meals were my personal favourite—everyone had the chance to get to know each other over delicious food, and we were always spoiled for choice! Throughout my time abroad, Mente was incredibly supportive, always available to answer any questions or ease any concerns I had. Ultimately, it was an amazing experience and I can't recommend them enough!
