Who we are and what defines us
AuPair.com is a product of MultiKultur e. K., combining the extensive experience of a full-service au pair agency with modern technology.
MultiKultur was founded in 1994 as one of the first private au pair agencies to receive official authorization to provide private employment placement services.
AuPair.com was launched in 1999, initially as a full-service au pair agency and later as an online agency.
MultiKultur has been a member of the International Au Pair Association (IAPA) since 2000 and a founding member of the Gütegemeinschaft Au Pair quality association since 2005. In 2006, MultiKultur received the RAL Quality Mark for placing au pairs with host families in Germany, followed in 2012 by the RAL Quality Mark for placing German au pairs with host families abroad.
Since then, over 4 million host families and Au Pairs worldwide have registered on AuPair.com. Since our comprehensive website relaunch in June 2005 alone, we have welcomed 3.88 million new users to our platform. Our size is your advantage, but we focus above all on quality: We currently have around 52,000 active users (as of March 2026) who have interacted on our platform within the last 30 days. This consistent database maintenance makes us the go-to choice for successful and timely placements.
We provide a user-friendly platform that allows Au Pairs and Host Families to connect and plan their stay with ease. We provide clear information and step-by-step guidance to help them find each other quickly and reliably.
Our expertise is based on our experience as a full-service Au Pair agency, making us a trusted partner in the search and placement process. AuPair.com is the world’s most popular Au Pair placement platform, providing comprehensive advice and support to Au Pairs and Host Families alike.
Thanks to our advanced matching technology, we provide personalised recommendations based on users' profiles and preferences. However, the final decision on selecting an Au Pair or Host Family rests with each party, based on personal preferences and negotiations.
What we stand for
We are committed to a fair, transparent, and internationally recognized Au Pair program that is based on genuine cultural exchange rather than purely an employment relationship. What else we stand for:
- Supporting intercultural competence and mutual respect
- Clear rules on working hours, pocket money, free time, and vacation
- Open communication and transparent expectations
- Clear separation: Au pairs are family members, not domestic helpers
- Internationally uniform minimum standards
- Fair working conditions with no room for exploitation or illegal employment
We are proud that our work contributes to making the world a more peaceful place. Through intercultural encounters, we break down prejudices, strengthen self-confidence—especially among young women and host mothers—and support families in achieving a healthy work-life balance. By bringing cultures together, we create:
- mutual understanding
- international friendships
- long-term connection to the host country
- confident young women with a global perspective
- an active contribution against nationalism and conflicts
We expect our certified partner agencies to provide transparent processes and reliable support before, during, and after the placement.
Apart from the obvious advantages of the Au Pair program, there are also effects that are not obvious at first glance.
Apart from the obvious advantages of the Au Pair program, there are also effects that are not obvious at first glance.
Most of the time, it concerns mothers who would have to give up their jobs and careers to raise their children. An Au Pair gives women the opportunity to return to their jobs or to get free time and relaxation from raising children. This increases the host mothers' self-esteem and independence, which has a positive effect on family life.
What makes us different from other Au Pair agencies
In order to enjoy all the positive aspects of the Au Pair program, whether as an Au Pair or as a Host Family, the Au Pair and the Host Family must be a good match. This is not just about childcare, but about a harmonious partnership between the Host Family and the Au Pair. Only then will the Au Pair leave the host country with positive impressions and have found a new home; just as the Host Family has found a new family member and broken down the prejudices against people from other cultures and countries.
