Looking for the right au pair or host family? See how AuPairWorld works and learn how to find your match – from creating your profile and discovering people to getting in touch and making your final choice.
AuPairWorld is free for au pairs. Families who’d like to host need a Premium access.
Build your profile
Once you’re signed in on AuPairWorld, you’ll be asked to verify your phone number. This step is mandatory and a part of our safety pillars.
After that, start building your profile and filling in your personal information and expectations. A complete profile, with photos, text and video makes you stand out and helps us find you the right match.
Start connecting
After filling in your information, you’re ready to browse profiles and start connecting. Premium host families and au pairs can send up to 20 requests a day. Once the request is accepted, both host family and au pair will need to verify their identity before chatting. You can use the chat to cover the basics before moving on.
Make a video call
If the conversation is going well, the host family can suggest an introductory video call of up to 30 minutes to get to know each other better. For safety reasons, the video call takes place directly on the platform. One hour before the call, you’ll receive an email reminder with a link to join.
Agree on placement
Once you’re both confident you’ve found the right match, the family can propose a placement for the au pair. If the placement is confirmed, you can choose to share your contact details with each other and chat outside the platform as you prepare for the stay.
Prepare for stay
Now it’s time to organize the practical details together, like the au pair contract and insurance. Depending on the host country, this may also include visa and other documents. AuPairWorld does not assist with visa procedures. But we offer a contract template that should be signed before the stay begins.
