The procedure from start to finish

Where and how to find an au pair?

Au pair means "on equal terms" in french.

Opening your home to a stranger, is a big decision. And moving in with a foreign family, in a foreign country, with a different culture, is an equally big decision. However, it is an experience of a lifetime!

When you contact us to become au pair or you are looking for an au pair, we start ensuring what you want and what kind of wishes you have. You can either cal, send an email or fill out the application form here. we prefer that you use the online application. Whether you apply as an au pair or you are a host family. The online application is on the contact page on top. 

Please fill out the application form with all the information requested and upload some pictures. This way we can get to know you better and find out what you specifically want. Next, there are some criteria that need to be met in order for us to move forward in the process.

In order to be an au pair or to get an au pair, the first thing we do, is to ensure through the online application what your needs are. If you live up to the rules and criterias, then we can move forward in the of process of applying.

When these are fulfilled, we start the process and send the first invoice (prices underneath). Once paid, we find some au pair applicants in the directory, all of whom are screened and ready for au pair families, which you can contact. We also send you some good ideas for the interview process when we send the candidates as well.

When you have found an au pair or a family and there is a match, we will send the second part of the invoice and start the au pair application. We strive to help both you and the au pair, and guide you through the whole process. If you have any questions after arrival, you are always welcome to contact us. We are here to help you throughout the whole period, and it does not cost extra. 

The whole process takes approx. 3 months. It seems like a long time, but in this way we ensure that you get the right au pair or au pair host family. You have talked to and selected him or her by interview, and you may have subsequently written together by mail. This way you know that you get the right au pair or family and that the chemistry is good. If you get an au pair who wants to change family or someone who is in the EU already, the optimal match is not always guaranteed. You can easily compromise your wishes and needs because you are a little preoccupied with being in Europe or current country already. An au pair that is already here does not always equate to an approval and may not "work" as an au pair until he / she is approved. In addition, the application process is the same. So why not find the right candidate from the start?
