All Au Pairs are pre-screened as part of the Au Pair selection process according to U.S. Department of State regulations. Host Families are responsible for screening and ultimately selecting the right Au Pair for their family.  Evaluation tasks you perform include:

• Thoroughly review all components of the Au Pair’s profile
• Interview the Au Pair at least twice by telephone
• Optionally interview the Au Pair via Skype or another video conferencing system
• Optionally interview the Au Pair via email
• Send the Au Pair your Host Family profile
• Use our helpful telephone tips to conduct interviews

Host Families are required (under U.S. Department of State regulations) to interview potential Au Pair applicants by telephone prior to the Au Pair’s departure.
