Becoming an Au Pair in the United States has been one of the best experiences of my life. Not only did it allow me to improve my English and live in another country, but it gave me unforgettable experiences, friendships that today I consider family and a personal growth that I never imagined,it is very nice to spend time together and share our experiences,cultures and traditions. Living with an American family was a unique experience. I learned to live with a different culture, to communicate better and to understand customs very different from mine. Although it is not always easy, with respect, empathy and communication, a very special relationship is created. One of the biggest benefits of being an Au Pair in the United States is free time to travel. I visited a many city and states and every travel,it has been amazing.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I definitely had an amazing experience with Go Au Pair. From the very beginning, the agency supported me through every step of the process — from applying to arriving in the U.S. They were always available to answer my questions and made me feel truly supported during the entire journey. I was fortunate enough to meet wonderful people and live with two incredible host families who made me feel at home. I created unforgettable memories and built bonds that I will carry with me forever. This experience helped me grow personally, discover new cultures, and live something truly special. I’m so grateful to Go Au Pair for making it all possible. I highly recommend this agency to anyone looking for an enriching and life-changing adventure!

I am currently an Aupair and participating in this program is the best and most amazing experience. There is always a perfect Aupair for each family, and I had my perfect family, which helped me so much. This intercultural experience helps so many people form beautiful bonds and, at the same time, allows the host family to have an additional member to care for their children in a reliable way."

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We highly recommend Go Au Pair & hosting an Au Pair! When my husband and I started thinking about the Au Pair program, Go Au Pair was there every step of the way. There was no pressure on the upfront when we were asking questions and understanding the ins and outs of the program. The service is incredibly professional and trustworthy. As far as hosting an au pair, our experience has been amazing! We love our au pair, she is a part of our family. She has been the best caregiver, we wouldn't have survived this year without her! I cannot recommend Go Au Pair enough!

About me

My name is Erin Mortensen and I have been the Utah Local Area Representative(LAR) with Go Au Pair since 2007. I hold a Bachelors in Physical Education from Utah State University. I live in Lehi, Utah with my husband and our three cute little boys. I love reading, traveling, being with my family, playing sports and also watching my kids do all their many sports and activities.

I love the Au Pair program! I enjoy working with all the Host Families and Au Pairs, helping to create a wonderful experience for them throughout their year! I’ve seen what a big impact the program has on the Host Parents, children and Au Pairs and I love being a part of that!

About my Families and Au Pairs

Our current Utah Au Pairs are from Ecuador, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico and enjoy our family friendly community and look forward to experiencing “The Greatest Snow on Earth”. Our Utah Host Families have little babies all the way up to early teens and they work in all kind of professions. We currently have Utah host parents in healthcare, sales, finance and accounting, legal, IT and pilots from Delta Airlines.

Au Pair Cultural Activities

Au Pairs are required to attend a number of Cultural Activities with their Local Area Representative and nearby Au Pairs to make sure they experience the local community and culture during their stay. Below are some of the activities Erin’s cluster has been up to recently!

Breakfast at Murray Park

We meet at a park here in Utah and everyone brings a breakfast item from their home country to share. We have had Pao de Queijo, from Brazil and Empanadas from Ecuador. We chat, eat and get to know each other, by learning about the Au Pairs families, host families, everyone’s interests and what they have been experiencing while here in Utah.

White Elephant Gift Party at Erin's House

This is a favorite! We eat breakfast and do a fun gift exchange with the Au Pair group, where everyone brings a $10 gift. We draw numbers and you pick a gift and you either take a gift from the pile or steal someone else’s. Everyone leaves with a fun gift and the Au Pairs love it! It’s great to celebrate together and see what everyone’s plans are for the rest of the holiday season!

Witches Night Out at Gardner Village

This is an amazing event at Gardner village that our group has attended during Halloween time. Gardner village has dozens of locally own shops and restaurants and Witches Night Out, is an event they hold there. Everyone can dress up like a witch, join the dance party and parade or eat the yummy food that’s there.
