Tailored Matches

We understand that every family is unique. That's why we dedicate time to understanding your specific childcare needs, preferences, and lifestyle to find your ideal au pair match. Unlike other programs that split their focus with high school exchanges or language courses, we specialize exclusively in the au pair program—ensuring you receive unmatched attention and support for a truly personalized experience.

Dedicated Support Team

From your initial match to the end of your program, our close-knit team works directly with you to provide a smooth, successful au pair experience tailored to your needs. In addition, we offer one of the highest staff-to-family ratios in the au pair industry, with most clusters serving fewer than 15 host families per Local Area Director. This ensures each family receives dedicated attention and outstanding support on a local level.
