Au Pair Italy

AU PAIR ITALY

Ciao bella!

Ever dreamed of spending a euro summer in Italy? As an Au Pair, you’ll live with a warm Italian family for 1-3 months, caring for children while soaking up the magic of one of Europe’s most beautiful countries.

Wander cobblestone streets in charming villages, sip espresso at sunny piazzas, and indulge in fresh pasta, pizza, and gelato. Spend weekends exploring world‑famous cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice, or relax on the breathtaking Amalfi Coast.

Being an Au Pair in Italy is the perfect way to combine travel, cultural exchange, and family life into one incredible summer.

The Au Pair Experience

The Au Pair experience duration is 1-3 months. Hopscotch ensures you’re placed with a safe host family, enabling you to immerse yourself authentically in Italian living. Host families offer accommodation (a private room within their home) and meals during your entire stay
