Why the United Kingdom?
Discover why the UK is a top destination for au pairs.
Live in charming, family-friendly districts just outside London—like Wimbledon, Fulham, Richmond, and Balham. These safe, history-rich residential neighborhoods are not only popular with host families, but also close to one another, creating a built-in community for au pairs (we’ll introduce you!). With leafy parks, cozy cafés, local shops, and excellent public transport, you'll feel at home while central London is just minutes away. Plus, these areas are kid-friendly—making it easy to plan fun, engaging activities with your host children.
Whether you're spending a day off exploring Borough Market, snapping photos at Big Ben, or escaping to the Cotswolds or Stonehenge for the weekend, life in the UK is full of unforgettable moments. And with quick rail and flight access to the rest of Europe, your next adventure is always within reach.
