Your guilt-free opportunity to experience Italy in all its glory (and eat all the carbs)
From the safety of a host family, you can immerse yourself in Italian culture. Our families live in world-class locations all over Italy like Milan, Rome, Florence, Venice, Tuscany which means you'll have plenty to explore in your free time.
You don’t have to speak Italian to live in Italy as an au pair and no childcare qualification is required.
We offer you the opportunity to have a quality Italian host family organised in writing before you leave home and will guide you through the entire process so you have full peace of mind before you leave Australia. You'll be able to pack your bags and say cya to your family and friends at home, knowing everything is already taken care of.
