Since 1999, AuPair.com offers applicants and Host Families a platform to get to know each other - without additional placement fees. Here you can search for the right candidate or Host Family and organize the stay together. You will find all the information you need and step by step guides that will help you through the process. Our website is available in eight different languages, so it is easy for everybody to understand.

Since we know how many questions must be answered in advance of a stay abroad, we offer comprehensive information on many different issues - ranging from requirements for Au Pairs and Host Families, over information on topics such as working hours, pocket money and visa matters, to regulations for certain countries.

For everyone who loves to have a good overview:

We can only recommend to go through our Au Pair Wiki since it contains every piece of information you’ll need to know for the Au Pair experience. If you have more general questions, our FAQ section will help you out. Our Au Pair blog will provide you with the most interesting topics related to the Au Pair life. And the section about testimonials will give you an insight about the real Au Pair world.

The safety of Host Families and candidate is very important to us. Therefore, all entries, just like pictures and texts, are checked daily.

However, if you encounter irregularities, please inform us immediately.

What we stand for

We are grateful that with our Au Pair programs we can make a small contribution to making the world a more peaceful and lovable place by

reducing prejudices through intercultural contacts
supporting the work-life balance of families
strengthening the self-confidence of young women and host mothers in particular

We bring different cultures together and the result is

mutual understanding
international friendships
prevention of nationalism and wars
self-confident, young women who understand the host country better and are connected to it

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 especially 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 programme, 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.

Our customers are enthusiastic about our service, because every Host Family can find the right Au Pair for them with us. We support your search with the following functions:

large selection of Host Families and Au Pairs
smart filtering options
extensive information about the Au Pair program
just-in-time advice so that you can take full advantage of the Au Pair stay
many years of experience in the Au Pair business

However, AuPair.com is not a full-service Au Pair agency! That means, that we do NOT place candidates in Host Families actively. We do not organize the stay and we do not help with visa applications rematchings! We also do not solve problems between Host Families and their candidates, although if you have a problem with one of our users, you can raise a complaint anytime.
