Au pairs and host families

Provide the greatest childcare for your kids.

Enjoy a stress-free placement by making your au pair happier, safer and more likely to take good care of your children.

What is a host family ?

A host family is a family that welcomes an au pair into their home as part of a cultural exchange program.

The au pair lives with the family, helps with childcare and light household tasks related to the children, and becomes part of everyday family life. In return, the host family provides accommodation, meals, pocket money, and the opportunity to discover a new culture.

Being a host family is not only about childcare.

It is also about building a respectful relationship based on trust, communication, and clear expectations on both sides.

“Our au pair loves the app !”

We love that our au pair can meet girls from different agencies nearby. It has made her experience so much more positive. We feel that it's been a game changer for her compared to her first months. Now she feels more comfortable and the kids feel it too !

“We just want her to be safe and happy”

As a host parent, her safety is my number one concern. Knowing she's using Aupairtrip to meet other au pairs in a more controlled and thoughtful environment truly reassures me. It feels like a safer, more responsible way for her to connect and travel.
