Is an au pair the right choice for us?

What is in the host family area?

Short answer

After registering, your personal host family area opens up to you. There you will find our agency suggestions, speculative applications from au pairs and the full au pair gallery with photos, profiles and introduction videos. In addition, information videos, checklists, templates and conversation guides are available to you.

Everything in one place — from the search to everyday life together

Your host family area supports you step by step throughout your entire journey with your au pair — from the first search, through getting to know each other and the placement, to arrival and everyday life together.

Getting to know suitable au pairs

Several options are available for your search: you receive personal au pair suggestions from us, can receive speculative applications from au pairs, and can browse our au pair gallery yourself. There you will find photos, profiles and introduction videos of the applicants.

Well prepared for getting to know each other

So that you know what to look out for in the first conversations, we provide you with conversation guides and helpful information — including in English.

Templates for your everyday family life

You receive practical templates and checklists, for example for a weekly schedule or your family rules. You can adapt these to your own family and everyday life.

Information exactly when you need it

In addition, the host family area contains videos and information on the various phases of your au pair time. This means you can always draw on the topics that are relevant to you at that moment.

Additionally, after the binding au pair selection

As soon as you have made a binding decision for an au pair through our agency, we additionally unlock our video series on the Persönliches Budget (a German benefit paid to you as money you manage yourself). In it, we provide information on options, experiences and helpful tips around the topic of Kostenübernahme (cost coverage by a public authority). We do not, however, offer individual advice on applications.
