Who we are

Aupair World is the world's leading au pair agency on the Internet.

On www.aupair-world.net, au pairs and host families can find each other by their own initiative, quickly and directly. Our users not only benefit from the greatest choice of au pairs and host families worldwide but also from the dedicated support of our highly experienced team.

Since its foundation in 1999, more than 1.5 million au pairs and host families have registered on Aupair World. In 2011 alone, no less than 49,000 host families and 162,000 au pairs relied on our services; in 2012 it was more than 56,700 host families and 206,800 au pairs.

How it works

Aupair World offers au pairs and host families the possibility to search for each other using simple, specially designed web-based tools. The first step is to register for free on www.aupair-world.net. All our users then receive suggestions of matching profiles according to their personal search criteria and can send so-called standard messages on Aupair World to get in touch with their favourite candidates. 

As soon as they wish to exchange personal messages, either the au pair or the host family can decide to become a Premium Member. The Premium Membership costs 39.90 euros and remains valid for 6 weeks. It ends automatically and does not need to be cancelled. In general, the host families subscribe to the Premium Membership, thus allowing au pairs to use our services for free.

On Aupair World, au pairs and host families can get to know each other better - the best preparation for a successful au pair placement. Using the personal messages of the messaging system, they have the opportunity to contact each other directly and exchange all the necessary information. 

As soon as au pairs and host families have found each other, they can start organising the au pair stay (au pair contract, visa, etc.) together. On www.aupair-world.net, they will find all important information to get prepared in the best possible way. For further questions, our users can also send us an e-mail or call us.
