Who we are and what defines us
In 1994, Raphael Bujara, the founder of AuPair.com, became one of the first in Germany to receive authorization for private Au Pair placement. A year and a half later, we began placing our first Au Pairs as an Au Pair agency. In 1999, AuPair.com launched initially as a full-service agency and later transitioned to an online platform. Since then, over 4 million host families and Au Pairs have registered on AuPair.com, with 80,000 currently active. Today, AuPair.com is the leading global resourse for Au Pairs.
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.
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 people 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 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.
