How it works

Four steps from stranger to a good fit.

Family1
Tell us about your household
Your children's ages, where you live, the hours you need, live-in or live-out, and what you can offer. Then verify your identity.
Au pair2
Au pairs build a free profile
Availability, experience, languages, driving licence, first aid, a short intro. Every au pair verifies their identity before going live.
Match3
See who genuinely fits
We score every verified au pair against your criteria and show you why each one fits, in plain words.
Connect4
Connect, then chat
Send a request. If the au pair says yes, a private chat opens right here. No phone numbers until you both want to share them.

How it works for families

For au pairs

You choose who gets to talk to you.

Always free. No fees, no commission, ever.
Families can't message you until you accept their request.
Families are verified too, and you can report or block anyone in one tap.
Show your experience, languages and certifications properly, not in a WhatsApp group.

How it works for au pairs

Trust comes first

Someone is moving into a home. We take that seriously.

Identity verified
ID or passport plus a selfie check for every family and au pair.
Consent-first chat
Messaging only opens once the au pair accepts. Either side can end it.
Report and block
On every profile and in every chat, reviewed by a real person.
Children stay private
We never store children's names, faces, schools or your street address.
