Local Coordinator Recruitment

The Local Coordinator plays a very important role in the Au Pair USA program. Local Coordinators are the regional representatives of the Au Pair USA program, providing year-round support to the host families and au pairs in their community's cluster. They work from home part-time to promote the program and to ensure all program participants are following the U.S. Department of State guidelines, as well as InterExchange Au Pair USA program policies.

Local Coordinators assume a variety of roles, including marketer, mentor, mediator and group leader. It is a challenging yet rewarding position and many Local Coordinators develop lasting friendships with their host families and au pairs.
