We first found Go Au Pair in January 2022 when we were looking for a childcare provider for our toddler. Their website is setup well and searching for candidates is simple. While filling out the host profile takes a bit of time it's worth it as both you and the au pairs are able to share a lot of information. We found an Au Pair in rematch and our local coordinator in town and placement manager were supportive. They were easy to get a hold of and always got back to us in a timely manner. While our match with our Au Pair did not last the staff at Go Au Pair has made moving on painless and helped provide our Au Pair with a new opportunity in a different state. They were impartial and patient while addressing our concerns.

We are a first time host family as part of the Au Pair program. We selected Go Au Pair as our agency of choice because we loved the ease of use and extensive search functionality on their platform for searching Au Pair candidates. Additionally, their customer service is top notch! They are responsive and take good care to answer all of our questions in detail. The entire process has been very smooth and efficient. We highly recommend Go Au Pair if you are looking into the program!

We have been a host family with goaupair since 2018 and have hosted several au pairs -- there are many agencies out there but we found goaupair responsive and were experienced with finding us the right match. We are based in New Jersey/NYC area and have a great local LCC support as well.

This will be our 7th consecutive year that my family has been using Go Au Pair as our au pair agency. They are extremely helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the entire process of finding an au pair. All of the au pairs that we have found through the Go Au Pair agency have worked out great for our family. Rachel G. our placement coordinator, is always very kind, knowledgeable, and reliable. My family and I highly recommend Go Au Pair!

We highly recommend Go Au Pair & hosting an Au Pair! When my husband and I started thinking about the Au Pair program, Go Au Pair was there every step of the way. There was no pressure on the upfront when we were asking questions and understanding the ins and outs of the program. The service is incredibly professional and trustworthy. As far as hosting an au pair, our experience has been amazing! We love our au pair, she is a part of our family. She has been the best caregiver, we wouldn't have survived this year without her! I cannot recommend Go Au Pair enough!

Frequently Asked Questions About the Au Pair Program

Yes, Au Pairs are allowed to care for special needs children, as identified by the Host Family, when the Au Pair has specifically identified their prior experience, skills or training in the care of special needs children and the Host Family has reviewed and acknowledged in writing the Au Pair’s prior experience, skills or training so identified.  Many of our available Au Pairs have broad experiences and are interested in caring for children with special needs.

Yes, your Au Pair may drive in the U.S. for a variety of reasons including (but not limited to) as part of child care responsibilities, to attend school, to attend events hosted by your Local Area Representative and/or for personal/social reasons. Host Families are responsible for reviewing and screening an Au Pair’s driving experience during the matching process and for helping the Au Pair adjust to driving in the U.S. after arrival.

Au Pairs do not have cars. If driving is part of the Au Pair’s child care responsibilities then a car must be provided. All other car access is coordinated between the Au Pair and Host Family. Any Au Pair driving in the U.S. must have auto insurance coverage and a driver’s license (either international license or state license depending on state law).
