Bon Voyage Au Pair: more than a program, a community that transforms lives

12/09/2025

When you hear "au pair," you might think of childcare in another country. But at Bon Voyage Au Pair, we believe it's much more than that: it's an opportunity to grow, discover yourself, and open doors for your future.

Our Story: From Experience to Mission

Bon Voyage was born from the real experiences of young Latin American women who lived as au pairs in Europe and came back with more than just memories. They returned with independence, language skills, and a clearer vision for their future.

From those experiences, we created an agency with a clear purpose: to guide young women from Colombia and Latin America to take the leap in a safe, confident, and supported way.

Our Mission and Vision

Mission: To help young Latin American women live a cultural exchange year as au pairs in Europe safely and with support so they can grow personally and professionally.

🌟 Vision: To be the leading community in Latin America that inspires thousands of women to use a year of their lives as a bridge toward a future with more opportunities, confidence, and fulfilled dreams.

What Sets Us Apart

  • 360° Support: we guide you from your application to the end of your experience.

  • Safety First: we work only with accredited agencies and verified host families.

  • Ex-Au Pair Community: you won't be alone; you'll have mentors who've already lived the experience and Latin peers sharing the journey.

  • Personal and Professional Growth: we see the au pair year as a gap year that prepares you for university and the job market.

The Dreams We Make Possible

  • Travel across Europe: weekends in Amsterdam, Paris, or Rome.

  • Learn languages: English, Dutch, and more—in real life.

  • Experience new cultures: open your mind and heart to different ways of living.

  • Boost your CV: stand out in interviews and admissions processes.

The Fears We Help You Overcome

We know what you're thinking:

  • "Will it be safe?"

  • "Will I fall behind in my studies?"

  • "What if I feel lonely?"

Bon Voyage's answer is clear: yes, it is safe; no, you won't fall behind; and you'll never be alone. You'll come back stronger, more mature, and with a future full of opportunities.
