Emily. U.S.A. Destination Sanxenxo + Santiago de Compostela
Family: couple, boy 8, boy 10, girl 4
Lenght of stay: 2.5 months, June 2024 Info on Au pair in Spain "This was a wonderful opportunity where I learned a lot and met many great people. The family I stayed with were so kind and went above and beyond to make me comfortable. I studied child development in college and plan to work with children for my career which I feel definitely gave me the tools I needed to best support and care for the children in the family. I do wish I met more people my age, but it was a bit challenging to socialize with new people outside of the family and friends I was staying with because of the language barrier. However, I did make a few really good friends and still had so much fun! I also feel like my spanish improved a lot! Lastly, I gained good skills in being by myself and figuring things out."

Alessandra. Italia. Destination Salamanca
Family: couple, boy 3, girl 5.
Lenght of stay: 2 months, June 2024 Info on Au pair in Spain "Being an au pair is an experience that is different from any other. It's a combo between the challenge of a new job and the challenge of living with other people, sharing their culture and habits. It has not always been easy, living and working in the same place can be frustrating, but it's a test to your patience and adaptability. In addition, if there aren't any other au pair in the city (as in my case), this is a boost to your confidence, to open up to people and to start making friends completely on your own!! If you want to give a twist to your future and your capacities, Destino Idiomas is made for you!" Read more Alessandra - Another point of view |
Estera. Slovenia. Destination Gijón
Family: couple, 2 boys 11, 9 y.o.
Lenght of stay: 3 months, May 2024 Info on Au pair in Spain "During my time in Gijón, I spent two and a half months with the wonderful host family. Their kindness and Destino Idiomas' support made my experience truly special. Ana also helped me connect with other au pairs which was incredibly helpful as well as inspiring. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves to travel but also be aware that with that you sometimes do a lot of things on your own. Despite that I got to see and experience the most incredible things that I will always cherish with me." Read more Estera - Au pair in Gijón |

The process to becoming an au pair went smoothly with the help of Ana. I cannot thank my host family enough for the amazing experience. I was always made to feel welcome and supported by them.

Elizabeth. U.K. Destination Gijón
Family: couple, 2 boys 11, 9 y.o.
Lenght of stay: 3 months, February 2024 Info on Au pair in Spain Ana (from Destino Idiomas) was very helpful throughout the process, and patient with me. She made the matching process much easier, and consistently checked up on me once I was in Spain too. The family I was with had had au pairs before so were very welcoming from the start, didn’t mind clarifying things when I was uncertain, and all of my au pair duties were completely manageable. I found that I very quickly got used to the routine. Read more Elizabeth - Au pair in Asturias, Spain |
Emily. U.K. Destination Santiago de Compostela
Family: couple, 3 girls 7, 5, 3 y.o.
Lenght of stay: 2 months, June-July 2023 Info on Au pair in Spain I stayed in the beautiful city of Santiago de Compostela for 8 weeks with a wonderful family. I felt immediately welcomed and put at ease, and had a lovely home to stay in. The family were very relaxed, but it was still good to check in with them about my responsibilities as an au pair. They were very flexible with my needs and even helped me arrange local trips and Spanish lessons. I would spend my set hours with the children during the day, and then in the afternoon I would visit the city, go to Spanish classes, or spend time with the family if they were going to the beach! At the weekend the family would always invite me to join them with their plans if I wanted to. Read more Emily - Au pair in Galicia |

Family: couple, girl 7, girl 5
Lenght of stay: 2.5 months, Mid May 2023 Info on Au pair in Spain This was the most incredible experience I have ever had. I got to learn a new language while staying with an amazing family. They were so welcoming and I felt like part of the family. I was full immersed in Spanish culture and loved every moment. We attended most of the festivals that occurred during my stay as well as family events. The children were very energetic and we spent most days running around in the park, exploring the area or playing in the pool. This was honestly the best experience I have ever done and I would highly recommend. Read more Chloe - Au pair in Spain for the summer |
Sophie. U.K. Destination Vigo
Family: couple, girl 5, boy 2
Lenght of stay: 1 month, Mid May 2023 Info on Au pair in Spain I was an Au Pair in Vigo for 4 weeks and I had the most amazing experience. I was with a family who were so supportive and they took me to see amazing things and I saw so many places. However sometimes I got lonely but I think this was due to me being out of season. Ana (Destino Idiomas) was amazing and was always checking up on me and I met her for a coffee. I also did some solo travelling on one of the weekends which was amazing also. I would 100% recommend this agency to anyone and also the chance at becoming an Au Pair. Read more Sophie - Au pair in Vigo |

Info on Au pair in Spain
Lenght of stay: 3 months, March - May 2023
Info on Au pair in Spain
My experience was incredible. I stayed with the most accommodating family, who made me feel very welcome and cared for. Looking after the children was very enjoyable, and taught me a lot about not only childcare, but about myself.
Ana was very supportive; I was fortunate to have no issues but I know if I had, Ana would have been on hand to help me. The communication process when choosing a family and being chosen was very clear and Ana made it very smooth and easy. Definitely stick it out longer than 1 week; it may feel very overwhelming when you first get there, but once you get to know the family and children and the routine, it’ll become enjoyable and you’ll feel much more confident, even if the first week you feel like it’s not for you or you’ve made a mistake.

Stephanie. U.S.A. Destination Campo de Criptana (Ciudad Real)
Family: couple, twin girls 2 y.o.
Lenght of stay: 3 months, March - May 2023 Info on Au pair in Spain "At first I was scared about taking a gap year and what I would find to fill my free time but it was by far the best decision I’ve ever made for myself.
Choosing to be an au pair in a small town in Spain was such an amazing experience I would do anything to do it all over again. I met so many incredible people and visited amazing places. My host parents were incredibly welcoming and spending time with their children was so special. Three months flew by and I already can’t wait to come back and revisit :)" Read more Stephanie - Destino Idiomas |
Alexandra. U.S.A. Destination Casasimarro (Cuenca)
I give Destino Idiomas a 100,000,000/10. Ana was extremely helpful and encouraging. I was never charged any fees to be an au pair; I only had to buy a plane ticket. Whenever I had questions, I knew she was there to help. She even put me in contact with the former au pair, who is now a sister to me. If you’re still questioning, just please go au pair; go abroad to gain a new family and perspective of yourself and the world.

Joseph. U.K. Destination Santiago de Compostela
Family: couple, male twins 13 y.o.
Lenght of stay: 1 month, summer 2022. Info on Au pair in Spain I look back to the month I spent in Santiago de Compostela last July with immense fondness. Santiago dC is an absolutely gorgeous city, full of history, which was exactly what I was looking for. I was living about a 10 minute walk away from the zona vieja. I would visit the old town regularly, losing myself down its many idyllic callejones. Galicia, too, is beautiful - lusciously green from all the wet weather during the winter time, when summer rolls around this green splendour is kissed by scorching temperatures from 25-40 degrees depending on where you find yourself. Geographically diverse and historically rich, Galicia ticked all the boxed for me. What I soon realised, however, was that you have to make the most of that once you are there… Read more Joseph - Great time in Galicia |
Rylee. U.S.A. Destination A Coruña
Family: couple, girl 3 y.o.
Lenght of stay: 2 months, spring 2022. |
Overall, I enjoyed my time living in A Coruña and getting to experience the culture and language.
I got to meet other Au Pairs, meet native Spanish speakers, and explore the country. This opportunity made it so that I could experience everything I've learned about in my university. It was the perfect way to spend two months. I recommend especially for Americans who want to find an inexpensive way to leave the country and experience a way of life completely different than our own. In general, this was a really good experience. Read more |
Lily. U.K. Destination Lugo
Family: couple, girl 3 y.o.
Lenght of stay: August, summer 2021. |
I had never been an Au Pair before nor travelled alone outside the UK.
Thanks to Ana at Destino Idiomas I knew I was in safe hands and that if anything were to go wrong, I would be able to trust her throughout the process. She ensured that everything ran smoothly from the offset and during my stay by regularly checking up on both me and the host family. I was so lucky with the family I was matched with, since I had applied so late for the summer season (around June) and I am still in contact with them months later! My host family were so kind and made sure I had experienced every depth of Galicia, from the food to the cities (Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña, Pontevedra) to the traditions and values. To supplement my day-to-day learning I also undertook spanish lessons 3x a week which I found to be very helpful in building my confidence and which also helped with the structure of my day."

Lenght of stay: August, summer 2021. " This was my first time being an au pair and I didn't really know what to expect before I came to Galicia (I didn't know much about the region either) .... and it really was an amazing experience... My host family were incredibly kind, patient and eager to teach me about the Spanish culture... I would really recommend being an au pair with Destino Idiomas, as Ana made sure the entire process went smoothly. Thank you Ana!. "

Ellie. U.K. Destination Valencia
Family: couple, boys 5 & 3 y.o.
Lenght of stay: Summer 2021. |
I was an au pair near Valencia in summer 2021.
Ana, who will be your main point of contact at Destino Idiomas, was extremely helpful during the entire process.For the application she made a template document which was easy to fill out.Then for the matching process she tried her best to meet my preferences, although this is not always possible. I must also say, Ana is very polite and you can never ask her too many questions, she always replied quickly and with good advice. Being an au pair at a young age has been a challenging but very rewarding experience. I would say that, make sure you are prepared to be away from your family and friends for a long period of time, especially during covid as meeting new people (other than the host family) may be reduced depending on your host family!

Sharleen. U.K. Destination Córdoba
Family: couple, girl 13 y.o.
Lenght of stay: Summer 2020. |
Destino Idiomas is amazing!
The application process is extremely easy as Ana made a template and prompts that allow you to know exactly what you need to in order to create a great application. I recommend this programme to everyone; there is no fee and you are able to earn money without having to pay rent or for essentials! I was able to match with a family in the exact area I wanted to stay and I loved being in Cordoba! Despite coronavirus I was still able to enjoy being in Spain, improve my Spanish and be immersed into the culture. I learnt so much and am so happy for the experience. It is completely different to the tourist experience of Spain and I was able to understand the country and Spaniards a lot better! It was a great segway to my university studies (I am studying Spanish) as I was able to improve my fluency and learn a lot about cultural customs... ... Ana is very professional but also very kind, I can't thank her enough! Read more |
Sive. U.S.A/Irish. Destination Ourense
Family: mother, boy 7 y.o, girl 5 y.o.
Lenght of stay: 9 months. September 2019. |
" I stayed in Ourense for 9 months and had an incredible experience. My host family was very welcoming and helped me adjust to the differences in life here. They truly want their au pair to be part of the family, and the whole time I felt valued and loved. My host mom was very understanding and gave me a lot of freedom to go out at night and travel to other cities on the weekends.
Ana from Destino Idiomas also helped me when I had some small problems and periodically checked in to make sure I was doing well... I had a unique experience because I decided to stay with my family during the Coronavirus quarantine, which was especially strict in Spain. ... ....I feel that during my au pair year, I was very lucky in terms of finding my family and choosing to live in Galicia. The people here were all very friendly, and the surrounding country and cities are beautiful. My Spanish improved a ton, I became part of a family here, and I made memories that will last a lifetime. I would recommend that anyone considering taking an au pair year should do it! " Read more |
Agnieszka. U.K. Destination Madrid
Family: mother, girl 6 y.o.
Lenght of stay: 4 months. February 2018. |
"I contacted Ana as a bright eyed 18-year-old wanting to immerse myself in the Spanish culture and improve my language. I left my host family feeling like a completely new person - I built a strong connection with my host family, I experienced working hard for the first time and I improved my Spanish massively. It’s definitely a life changing experience, but Ana was available for support whenever it was difficult. I grew up a lot through this experience and I recommend it for anyone seeking a challenge!"

Lenght of stay: 5 months. October 2019. |
"Wow! One word: Challenge. But a good one.
It was a great experience, and I grew a lot as a person. Why challenging? Because you will have to adapt to another lifestyle, living with a family you do not know and far away from your friends and family. But that is exactly at the same time the beauty. Your host family will guide you and will make you feel at home, so no worries! It is almost guaranteed that you will grow! so dont doubt it and just go for it. To me it has been an experience i am happy i did not missed it." Read more |
Jennifer. Dutch. Destination Barcelona
Family: couple, 3 boys: 5 y.o., 3 y.o., 8 months,
Lenght of stay: 6 months. January 2019. |
" I had a great time in Spain! I've been an au pair in Barcelona for 6 months and really enjoyed my time here. I was able to meet a lot of people from all over the world, learn and improve my spanish and learn more about myself and what I want in life. Being an au pair is truly an amazing experience and you will definitely become more independent.
I am Dutch and was staying with a dutch family, so if you want to learn or improve your spanish my tip would be to stay with a spanish family. This way you will learn quicker because you only hear spanish and you don't have to switch between languages. I would definitely recommend this program! Ana always let us know when there was a national holiday or when events would happen near you and she also checked up on you every once in a while." Read more |
Alexandra. U.S.A. Destination Valladolid
Family: couple, girl 4 y.o.,
Lenght of stay: 2.5 months. Summer 2019. |
"During this past summer I had the amazing opportunity to live with a great family in Valladolid, Spain. This was an experience I will never forget, I was able to meet many new people, both locals and others in the Au Pair program.
My Spanish improved exponentially even with minimal effort on my part. And I met an amazing little girl that I was lucky to take care of for 10 weeks. I also had the opportunity to travel every weekend which allowed me to get a greater cultural experience. Through my agency I was guided from the beginning of my experience when I was preparing to leave, throughout with phone calls to check in, and at the end with follow up messages to make sure I enjoyed my time in Valladolid, Spain. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking to go outside their comfort zone and learn about a new culture." Read more |
Angela. U.S.A. Destination Ourense
Family: mother, girl 3 y.o.,
Lenght of stay: 2 months. Summer 2019. |
"This past summer, I spent two months in Galicia, Spain with a wonderful family I met through Destino Idiomas. Ana was very helpful in guiding me through the family-selection process, as this was my first time as an au pair.
After I arrived, Ana checked in with me to see how I was doing for the first few weeks, and even after she stopped checking in, I knew she was still a resource for me. It was very comforting to know that if something went wrong, I would have help nearby because my family was back in the United States. In fact, one time, I had stomach issues and went to the clinic, and Ana was on the phone and able to translate for me. I improved exponentially in my Spanish through little effort on my part because I was constantly surrounded my Spanish. I learned so much about Galician culture and fell in love with their wonderful food. During my free time, I took weekends trips with other au pairs from Destino Idiomas that Ana put me in contact with. Although this experience was ony two months, I grew and learned so much and made lifelong friends." Read more |
Sabien. Dutch. Destination Santiago de Compostela
Family: couple, boy 5 y.o, boy 3 y.o.
Lenght of stay: 8 months. September 2018. |
"I've been an au pair in Santiago de Compostela for 8 months. The day after I arrived, I went to the office of Destino Idiomas to introduce myself. Ana, from Destino Idiomas, told me a lot about the city and we had lunch together. My hostfamily was amazing, they showed me the city and made me feel at home. Ana was checking on me every once in a while. I didn't have any troubles, but it was nice to know that there was someone in case I needed help.
I've had an amazing time during my stay in Santiago de Compostela. I've visited lots of places, I've made new friends and I feel like my hostfamily became my second family. Unfortunately, I had to leave Spain earlier than planned, because of a small accident. I've been in the hospital for a surgery and Ana from Destino Idiomas came to visit me. She supported me in my decision to go home earlier and she helped me with everything she could. I would've prefered to finish my gap year differently, but I still look back at it with a big smile."

Michelle. Dutch. Destination Ourense
Family: mother, boy 6 y.o, girl 4 y.o.
Lenght of stay: 7 months. October 2018. |
"I had a good time in Spain! To be honest it is hard to give a review because I was really lucky with my family. I have a sweet loving family and we get along very well, but it is never sure if it’ll be like that for someone else. I stayed in Ourense and I am glad I chose this city. There are not that many aupairs but there is a big English community here and the people here in Galicia are the kindest people I’ve ever met. The food here is good and it’s easy to travel around with for instance Blablacar or bus. I feel like it will be really difficult for me to go back to my own life and leave my hostmother, children and friends here behind, but I am glad I will always have a home here in Spain if I decide to go back. Which I probably will." Read more |

Lenght of stay: 6 months. September 2018. |
" Although some parts of my experience proved to be difficult, I can hands down say that this was the best part of my life so far.
I was able to meet so many different people from all over the world, learn so much about life, grow as a person, learn A LOT of spanish (I knew a few words at the start), find a second home and family and just generally live a life I loved. I would absolutely do it again and recommend it to anyone. Ana was great in terms of checking up on you. She was in regular contact so you never would feel overwhelmed or alone, and helped talk to me about my issues, which I know other au pairs using different programs were not as lucky to have access to. *She even organised a meet up for the fellow au pairs of Galicia that she had in her agency!" *Destino Idiomas note: I arranged the meeting on behalf of AEPA, the association I belong to, bringing together aupairs from my agency and other AEPA aupair agencies.

"I have had the absolute best 2 months of my life. In such a short time I have grown as a person and experienced so many new things. Although I have the upper hand because my family lives here, I have had an amazing time with my new host family as well.
Destino Idiomas and Ana specifically has been so helpful beginning with our first interaction with my curiosity about the program. Ana was able to match me with the perfect family that was also close to my family that lives here in Spain. Throughout my trip she also helped me resolve small issues that I had and also connected me with other Au Pairs in the area. My host family were so welcoming and treated me as one of their own. The two children were so sweet and so eager to learn. I am still currently with the family and it pains me that this is our last week. The children are so loving and fun to be with. The family was also very flexible and I was flexible so we were a perfect match. In my free time I had the luxury of going to the beach or adventuring the town each day. I met various people through social media apps and au pair groups. I have now met other people from all over the world and it was so easy and fun! I also was able to go on a trip to Porto, Portugal by train. I highly recommend au pairing to everyone! This experience has been amazing and I will definitely be doing this in the future as well. I have also only spoken to people that have also had amazing experiences. DO IT and you will not regret it!!!! Read more |

"I am an avid Ultimate frisbee player and wanted to be an Au Pair in a town where I could play with the local team. There are not a lot of ultimate frisbee teams in Spain but this program went out of their way to research the different ultimate frisbee teams and then see if they had families near by those towns. That is how I ended up in A Coruña and it was a perfect match.
The first family that this program found for me was an immediate match. They were so nice and when I got there, they welcomed me with open arms, my own room and bathroom, would buy me any food I wanted, and were very flexible and reasonable with working hours and time off. My main goal was to learn more Spanish and learn about a culture and this family was perfect for that. Even after two weeks, my Spanish abilities had improved so much and my perspective had broadened by being adopted into this culture. I am so thankful to have found this program, they helped me find the place perfect for me and a great family." Read more |

"Since March 2017, I'm living on the island Fuerteventura and working as an Au Pair. I have one word to describe the past 8 months; wonderful!.
The family I work with is amazing, I feel like a family member and the kids treat me like a big sister; which is also the reason that I decided to stay not for 6 months, but for 13 months! When I applied at the company in the Netherlands, the told me about Destino Idiomas and about how they work. Every now and then I receive an email or phone call from them to check up on me!. I really appreciate that!. Working here in Spain is wonderful and working with a organisation that is supportive and keeps contact during your stay makes it even better! Read more |

" I chose to work with Destino Idiomas because I consider the director, Ana, straightforward, honest, and an Au Pair advocate, having been one herself. She was very supportive throughout my home-stay.
I strongly advise taking full advantage of the placement process... I was not completely satisfied with my placement; ...I do take responsibility for this because ... it was my lack of communication ... about what I wanted that resulted in my placement. If you want to be within walking distance from grocery stores, cafes, and parks, I recommend clarifying that with the agency and host family... ...I think its important to factor in what activities you will want to do in your free time when choosing a location. Also, I would suggest being flexible with your criteria ... although my host family lived in a more isolated area than I would have liked ... they had relatives and friends living nearby so the house was always full of guests and activity."

"...It was my first experience like an au-pair... But this decision - to travel like an au-pair, was one of the best in my life. You can recognize various unknown things, other culture, people, do something you have never done before... Of course that nothing is perfect. First week I had various problems, but your host family, people from the agency, friends or family from your country can help you. Or other au-pairs. :) I met one Canadian au-pair in Sanxenxo...
My host family was like my real family. Parents of girls were very nice to me (I took care of 2 girl - 8 and 5 years old). When they had some doubts, they usually told me it. It is important to know, what you should do in better way...Great luck for me was tutoring from Spanish. I had 2 clases/week with a very sympathetic and dear lady. The last Saturday we did excursion together to a place with beautiful views to ocean. I hope that I do a progress in Spanish. Thank you very much to the family, agency from Spain and from Czech Republic! ...I really miss these moments and Spain, too." Read more |

"I absolutely enjoyed my time as an Au pair on the Canary Islands. I stayed six months in Fuerteventura. Needless to say; the weather was quite beautiful most of the time.
More importantly, the family I was placed in was warm and welcoming, they showed me around the island and made me a member of their family. Though living on an island without a university and only about one hundred thousand people could get a little bit lonely, this also depends largely on your own efforts. The agency helped out with that, giving the option to join a distinct group in an app for meeting new people. In addition, they were always there for me when I had questions or problems, or just wanted someone to practice my Spanish language skills with! Muchas gracias, tuve un tiempo maravilloso!"
