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!
