Easy-to-Use Search Tool

Find your perfect match with our user-friendly search tool! Extensive filters, including keyword search, are available to help you find the right au pair for your needs.

Local & National Support

Our local Community Counselors and staff care about you and your family. Many of our employees have been with us for years and have also been host parents themselves!

Multi-Tiered Screening Process

Our comprehensive screening starts in the au pair’s home country and goes through several levels of review, including individual screening, criminal background check, a well-recognized psychometric inventory (16PF), medical evaluation, and reference checks.

Au Pair Training Program

In addition to specialized training on topics like child development, cultural adaptation and DOS regulations, your au pair will complete online courses by the American Red Cross™ (child safety) and AAA™. The driving course was designed specifically for Au Pair in America® au pairs to help prepare them for driving in the US.

Au Pair Orientation

Your au pair will join us for a NYC Warm Welcome orientation to help them adjust to US life before joining your family. Plus, they’ll go on a fabulous city tour!

No Credit Card Fees

We know our families love to earn their miles and points! We won’t charge you extra fees to use your credit card – including American Express™, Mastercard™, and Visa™ – for either our full program fee or our convenient Extended Payment plan.

Ongoing Education

Au Pair in America® offers more than 40 live webinar topics for au pairs to attend during their year - from child centered activities to traveling in the US. Plus, au pairs can earn their American Red Cross™ CPR certification in your home community at no additional cost.

The Value of Au Pair Childcare

Less stress — your au pair can assist with life’s little surprises like snow days and sick days, or drop-offs and pick-ups, so you gain more control over your time.
Peace of mind knowing your children are safe with a trusted caregiver.
The cost is per family, not per child.
No application fee or credit card fees.
