What our Host Families love about the Au Pair program
Kris CleggAugust 10, 2023We've worked with 6 different au pair agencies and and have had au pairs join our family from 2 of those agencies. Go Au Pair was one of those two and we have nothing but fantastic things to say about the agency. Local Area Coordinators have been wonderful and our Au Pair really loved working with them too. The screen process is great and we really appreciated the detailed reports and information they make available to host families during the matching process. The agency fees seem fair and competitive and we're starting a new placement with them soon.Radostin KanevJuly 17, 2023We are using an Au Pair through Go Au Pair and we’ve been very happy. The process to get the nanny here was smooth and so far we haven’t run into any issues. This is a great program and we have referred it to many of our friends with babies.Wenting GaoJune 30, 2023We have had the pleasure of working with GoAuPair as our au pair agency, and we are satisfied with the placement and the services they have provided. Throughout the process, Gina has been incredibly supportive, taking the time to explain contracts and terms to us. Judith has also been wonderful in following up with us and has been friendly and helpful. We have been hosting au pairs since our twins were born, and we have had the opportunity to welcome four au pairs from Mexico and China, with another one soon to arrive from Peru. In our experience, the price we pay when working with an au pair through GoAuPair (including agency fees and au pair fees) is quite reasonable compared to the hourly rates of local nannies. It's important to note that with this cost-saving, there is a trade-off. We have dedicated time to train our au pairs, help them with driving and familiarize them with the area. In some cases, we have also supported them in improving their English language skills if needed. Additionally, we provide our au pairs with full access to a car and a membership to Lifetime Athletic, an excellent country club. We encourage them to explore the area and make friends. In return, our au pairs have been exceptional with our children and have taught them valuable second languages, such as Chinese and Spanish. Thanks to our au pairs, our kids are now trilingual and have become globally-oriented, embracing new cultures and languages. This experience has also instilled in them a broader understanding of the concept of a global economy and vision. Hosting au pairs has brought many positive aspects to our family life, and we have received excellent services from GoAuPair throughout the process. We highly recommend their services to anyone considering hosting an au pair.Kathryn SchaefferMay 26, 2023Great experience with Go Au Pair! Responsive and easy to work with. Helpful in answering questions. Found a great au pair to join our family and would highly recommend!Aaron ThomasMay 24, 2023We had a wonderful experience with this Au pair agency. We enjoyed being involved with the search and selection of the au pair (a unique feature that sets them apart). We are also impressed with the exceptional customer service. Our coordinator has been prompt in answering all of our questions and any concerns. We are grateful for this agency and all the staff working hard behind the scenes to make this program possible, thank you!Zane AukeeMay 2, 2023We have had two au pairs placed by Go Au Pair. I would recommend them as they have an excellent variety of au pairs to connect with.Tom DudzicApril 19, 2023I have worked with several folks at Go Au Pair during my search process. They have all been well informed, respectful, responsive and a pleasure to work with. I would gladly recommend this agency to anyone in search of an Au PairKrystal AhmadMarch 28, 2023I started this process about 2 weeks ago and was able to find a match, but not without endless amount of time invested. For the most part the pricing is stated upfront so you know what you're getting into, however, the fees for the flight/travel are unable to be determined until that is booked. PROS: - The representatives that you work with are very nice and helpful - They create the contract with the cost out after you've extended an offer to an AuPair pretty quickly - There are lots of AuPairs to choose from and a couple new ones might be added each week - There isn't a local representative in my area so my local rep was almost across the country from me so they assigned 2 people to help me out. Having the support was fine. Totally fine but I got confused on who I address for certain things in the beginning. - Final costs are about an extra $500-$1000 than whats stated upfront due to travel costs, etc. - Overall we are very happy so far with the process and the representatives we've been working with are super sweet and kind. They can really help you out and try to be super available for you. We were happy with our reps. CONS: - There are a lot of emails with bits and pieces of information, the next steps are not detailed in the beginning so there is a lot of things not exactly clear, mainly detailed info on the entire process. This was frustrating but if you talk to your rep to clear it up you should be fine - Payment plan details should be shown upfront because a family needs to see if it's realistically affordable or compare their local childcare pricing prior to starting the search and investing so much time into it. However, I guess a family going this route for childcare might not be stressing over little costs here and there? Not sure - Travel fees/cost need to be elaborated/clear a bit more in the beginning of the processJH DENALIOctober 4, 2022There is a good selection of au pairs, and the search function makes it easy to find one that meets your needs. -ZaneJamie KJuly 7, 2022We HIGHLY recommend Go Au Pair (GAP). In the world of working parent guilt and a global pandemic, it really does take a village to raise children--but what does one do when one's village alternates quarantining and childcare is chaos. When we heard about the au pair program and began to research it, we knew it was our only hope, though we had many concerns. The first was what agency to choose--a huge agency? A small agency? We wondered what role our agency would play, and agonized over the choice. Ultimately, GAP provided terrific, high-quality, personalized service that clearly comes from their experience in the AP world and not being so enormous that they lose sight of their families and APs. We are a family, not just a number, to GAP. Our AP is such a very special young lady who is authentic, bright, and thoughtful. She is fantastic with children, and an extremely strong driver. With 3 very young boys, having a third adult is such an unbelievable help in our family. Our AP is leaving an unforgettable impression on our children and has made it so easy to be a working parent. We cannot thank GAP enough!Google rating score: 4.8 of 5,

The areas I serve in Nebraska
I am the Local Area Representative for big cities like Omaha in Nebraska to smaller cities such as Dunlap in Iowa. I help local families that are located nearby within 1 hour from the heart of Downtown Omaha, Nebraska.
Welcome! I am Brianna and the newest Nebraska/Iowa Representative for Go Au Pair. I grew up in Omaha and am very familiar with the city and surrounding areas.
I studied in my undergrad at the University of Nebraska—Omaha. I have been a writer for the past 8 years and am trilingual. I am usually reading, cooking/baking, going for a run, spending time with my family or playing video games. I enjoy learning and challenging myself with new hobbies. My current new interests are blacksmithing, botany and learning a third language to code in.
I believe that the Au Pair program provides a beautiful experience for both Host Families and Au Pairs. It is a great exchange of cultural values and traditions that will be cherished from everyone
who participates. As the Local Area Representative, I am available for the Host Families and Au Pairs while being able to provide them events within the city to bring everyone closer while learning more about one another. It is truly a one of a kind experience for everyone involved and I am so happy to be a part of it!
Our Nebraska Host Families currently have Au Pairs from Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador and Peru. Our local Au Pairs care for children of all ages from toddlers to teenagers. The Nebraska host parents are in marketing, engineering, finance, healthcare, human resources and transportations.
Au Pair Cultural Activities
Au Pairs are required to attend a number of Cultural Activities with their Local Area Representative and nearby Au Pairs to make sure they experience the local community and culture during their stay. Check back soon to see some of Brianna’s cluster’s activities!
We meet at a park here in Utah and everyone brings a breakfast item from their home country to share. We have had Pao de Queijo, from Brazil and Empanadas from Ecuador. We chat, eat and get to know each other, by learning about the Au Pairs families, host families, everyone’s interests and what they have been experiencing while here in Utah.
This is a favorite! We eat breakfast and do a fun gift exchange with the Au Pair group, where everyone brings a $10 gift. We draw numbers and you pick a gift and you either take a gift from the pile or steal someone else’s. Everyone leaves with a fun gift and the Au Pairs love it! It’s great to celebrate together and see what everyone’s plans are for the rest of the holiday season!
This is an amazing event at Gardner village that our group has attended during Halloween time. Gardner village has dozens of locally own shops and restaurants and Witches Night Out, is an event they hold there. Everyone can dress up like a witch, join the dance party and parade or eat the yummy food that’s there.
Additional Resources for Families and Au Pairs in Omaha, NE
Au Pairs are able to get licenses and drive legally in Nebraska. Host families need to check with their insurance agency for their
guidelines on adding their Au Pair to their insurance policy. Au Pairs will be responsible for studying for the necessary written and driving exam that is proctored through the Nebraska DMV office.
There are only three attempts at the exam, it is essential for the Au Pairs to practice and study if driving is a duty that is needed for the Host Family.
The option and availability of driving is not always feasible for all Au Pairs and Host Families.
There is public transportation available in Omaha called The Metro, the information to their website is below.
Au Pairs can also have access to Lyft, Uber and other ride sharing
services.
Au Pairs need to complete 6 credits/72 classroom hours while they are in Nebraska. The universities that are currently available in Omaha that are popular are the following:
Creighton University—https://www.creighton.edu
College of Saint Mary—https://www.csm.edu
Metropolitan Community College—https://www.mccneb.edu
University of Nebraska at Omaha—https://www.unomaha.edu
Each of these schools offer in-person, online and hybrid classes
that are available to Au Pairs as well. Some college have different
requirements so be sure to reach out to the school’s admission
office.
An Au Pair will need to get a Social Security # before getting a bank account and driver’s license. Go Au Pair will provide a welcome packet with social security information, on the Au Pairs arrival. We advise Au Pairs to wait 10 days after arrival to get their social security number. You can make an appointment at a social security office, closest to your home.
Child-Friendly Activities for Au Pairs and Host Families
We have plenty to do for Host Families and Au Pairs to enjoy together with the children. There are a few options available near Downtown Omaha. We are known here in Omaha for our zoo so it is a must see! There is so much to do at the zoo with all the different exhibits and even a splash water park during the summer. We also have plenty of beautiful walking trails that come with some of the best views Omaha can offer. Omaha has recently been voted to have the best ice cream shop in the United States!
Checking out Coneflower Creamery at either of their locations will give you a taste of Omaha while giving you the experience of visiting the small walkable businesses locally. The newest updated Gene Leahy Mall has many different areas for families to look around and even children to run and play through. In the heart of downtown, there is a new interactive museum for all ages called the Kiewit Luminarium.
