How to Intern Abroad as an Au Pair

Prepare for Au Pair Internships Abroad

Understand the benefits

Becoming an au pair intern abroad opens the door to a one-of-a-kind cultural experience. It’s an opportunity to learn, grow, and connect in ways that can shape your future forever.

  • Cultural immersion. Live like a local and become part of a family while exploring new traditions, languages, and ways of life. It’s an experience that goes far beyond tourism.
  • Language learning. Strengthen your communication skills and pick up a new language naturally through daily interactions with your host family and children.
  • Career experience. Show future employers your ability to adapt, multitask, and thrive in international environments — all while developing patience and problem-solving skills.
  • Financial benefits. Most au pair placements include housing and meals, giving you a low-cost way to live abroad while earning valuable childcare experience.

Things to know

Before starting your au pair internship abroad, there are a few key things to keep in mind to make your experience smooth and rewarding.

  • Set expectations early. Discuss responsibilities, work hours, and household rules upfront with your host family to ensure everyone’s on the same page.
  • Stay communicative. Open, honest communication helps avoid misunderstandings — check in regularly with your host parents and ask questions when needed.
  • Cultural adjustment. It’s normal to feel homesick or experience culture shock. Stay positive, give yourself time, and lean on your host family for support.
  • Time management. Balancing work, personal time, and travel opportunities is key. Use weekends and holidays to explore and recharge.

A vibrant, heartwarming and impactful experience interning in Colombia

February 17, 2026by: Eva van Stekelenburg - Netherlands

Program: International Internship Programs in Colombia

My internship working for the government in Colombia was an incredibly meaningful and intellectually enriching experience. I had the opportunity to work on research related to the environmental treatment of gold mine tailings from the Bajo Cauca region, an issue that sits at the intersection of environmental sustainability, public policy, and regional development. From day one, I felt welcomed by my warm colleagues. The organization provided a strong balance between autonomy and guidance, allowing me to conduct in-depth research as well as discuss issues with the head if mining at the office. It was a phenomenal, tangible experience. The work was both challenging and impactful, as it addressed real environmental concerns affecting communities in Antioquia. I couldn't have wished for better! Alongside doing research my colleagues also made sure I always joined them to the food markets and try their local cuisine, they made me feel so at home. My research into solutions for gold mine tailings (including environmental remediation strategies, regulatory frameworks, and sustainable mining transitions) gave me insight into how local governments navigate complex socio-environmental issues. It was especially valuable to see how policy, science, and economic realities must align to create viable long-term solutions for regions like Bajo Cauca.. Beyond the technical knowledge I gained, the internship deepened my understanding of governance in Latin America and the role of regional institutions in driving environmental progress. Medellín itself is also such a vibrant, dynamic and innovative city, which made the experience even more inspiring. I highly recommend this internship to anyone interested in environmental policy, sustainable development, or public sector research. It is an opportunity not only to learn, but to contribute to meaningful change. Would go back in a heartbeat.
