Profile Creation

First step is to register an account. Registration is very simple, convenient and takes less than a minute.
Then you can create a Profile, adding as much detail as possible as this will make your profile more interesting. To obtain the optimal results, it's best to be honest about things that you like or dislike and to submit a friendly picture of you/your family.

Search

Best way to find suitable Au Pair/Family is to use Profile matching, where the system will list candidates based on the requirements specified in your own profile.
Another way to find matches is to search via our simple search system. The filter will help you search profiles based on your search parameters.
When you found an interesting Au Pair/Family profile, you can contact them from their profile page.

Communication

Once you have found your perfect match (Au Pair/Family), arrange to make a further contact, preferably an interview on the phone, Telegram, Zoom, or even in person. We would encourage that it should be an unhurried process, by taking your time to get to know each other and plan to speak, at least, a couple of times. It is always advisable to make a list of questions prepared before you speak.
To contact a profile, use a message form at the bottom of each profile.
All correspondence can be found in your Messages.

Sign a contract

The Au Pair contract is an official document containing the most important details of cooperation between a Host Family and an Au Pair.
Each country has different rules according the Au Pair contract. It's wise to check the rules before starting the search.
