Host Family Process

Step 1: It starts with you and your needs.

What is most important to your family?

Register and complete your profile for free so we can help you find an Au Pair that matches your family’s needs.

Step 2: Find the best Au Pair for your family

Screening

Search through hundreds of Au Pairs, and do a detailed evaluation of the important aspects of each Au Pair’s profile.

  • Childcare experience
  • Infant Qualified
  • Driving Experience
  • Personality

Interviewing

Talking with potential Au Pairs is where you’ll first feel that spark and decide if you will hit it off with your new live-in child care provider and family member.

Extending an offer / Visa Process

Extend an offer to your favorite Au Pair candidate. If they accept, the embassy and visa processes begin!

Step 3: Au Pair Arrival

Once your Au Pair arrives at your home, you’ll start to see the benefits (and fun) of Au Pair child care, and can help your Au Pair adjust to life in the United States.

“After years of stress and frustration, and many different nannies, we decided to look for an au pair. When Veronika arrived on January 2, 2016 our lives were forever changed. We had no idea that a real life Mary Poppins had just arrived!”

Carrie • Host Mom, Au Pair in Excellence Runner-up

“I can honestly say that bringing her to live with us as our au pair has been the best decision we could possibly have made. She has afforded us so many priceless “intangibles” during her time here that I can’t begin to quantify her contributions to our family.”

Jennifer • Host Mom

Step 4: Having a successful childcare experience

What is an Au Pair success example?

  • Your Au Pair and children have formed a life-changing bond
  • Your Au Pair becomes a part of the family, and trusted team member for the parents
  • You can’t imagine what your life would have been without your Au pair
