About us
Aupairagent.dk started in 2015 by placing au pairs in Danish families. Since then, we have grown to place au pairs throughout Scandinavia. Additionally, we also send young people from all over Scandinavia out into the world as au pairs, on working holiday visas, and on trainee programs. We aim to be the leading agency in Scandinavia, facilitating cultural exchange experiences from start to finish.
About Aupairagent.dk
Aupairagent.dk is run by Karina Volff, who has previously been an au pair herself. Additionally, she has had several au pairs over the years.
"When you are self-employed with two children, dogs, horses, and a house, an au pair is a lifesaver. But finding the perfect match requires a lot of effort. When both parties are happy and thriving, an au pair is not only a huge help in household and family life but also an additional personality you welcome into your home. Someone who can contribute exciting experiences and insights into a new and different culture. It has expanded my children's language skills and cultural understanding.
Conversely, an au pair can also gain knowledge and experience from our culture, which can be a great help when they return to their home country. It goes both ways, and everyone must be open and welcoming. I am saddened that the debate often focuses on the negative aspects rather than the positive ones. No one should be unhappy, and no one should be exploited. There are many good stories out there that I think get far too little attention. Stories of lifelong friendships. Stories of children who, at an early age, are equipped to handle themselves in English and, most importantly, gain knowledge of another culture. They, and we, gain an understanding and a greater appreciation for other people and each other."
