This has been a fantastic experience for us! It is so peaceful to know that my son is home with someone safe and reliable. Our au pair has become part of the family.

Au Pair in America is the solution for families looking for experienced and reliable childcare assistance in the Bay State.

Due to the skyrocketing costs of nannies, babysitters, and day care, Massachusetts is one of the most challenging states for families seeking accessible, affordable childcare. While all childcare providers must adhere to the Massachusetts Domestic Worker Rights Bill, only one option combines:

The convenience and consistency of live-in childcare assistance

A large selection of qualified and experienced candidates from nearly 60 countries

Exposure to different languages and cultures

Personalized assistance in finding the right au pair for your family, from search and selection to placement

What Sets Us Apart?

Flexible and Dependable Care

Create your own childcare schedule of up to 10 hours per day and up to 45 hours per week. By having your childcare provider living in your home, dealing with sick days, snow days and life’s little surprises has never been easier.

Program Options to Fit Your Family

A one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for childcare. That’s why we offer three unique program options to meet your family’s needs. Whether your children are infants or school-aged, Au Pair in America has the solution for your family.

Expert Matching

With our user-friendly online search feature and placement experts, we make it easy to find the perfect au pair for your family. Plus, you’ll have access to the largest pool of au pairs in the world – our au pairs hail from nearly 60 countries across 5 continents.

Screening

Our extensive three-tiered screening process includes an in-person interview, reference checks, medical reports, English-language assessment, personality assessment, and a criminal background check.

Training

Your au pair will receive specialized training on topics including child development, household safety and U.S. driving laws. Our orientation program combines readings, videos, quizzes and live training sessions – all focused on keeping children safe.

Outstanding Support

We support your family every step of the way. Every family is assigned a local, professional community counselor who is an employee of APIA – not a volunteer or contractor – to provide ongoing support to you and your au pair.
