Costs for an Au Pair

Costs

In comparison to other child care services, the Au Pair program is a very inexpensive option. Online matching agencies such as AuPair.com offer you a low-priced possibility to find and contact your perfect Au Pair.
In additon, you and the Au Pair will need a local Au Pair agency in order to fulfill all visa requirements for the United States.

The visa needed to work as an Au Pair in the United States can only be issued if you and your Au Pair are registered as members of a certified American agency!

Nevertheless, the independent search for an Au Pair via an online matching agency provides some benefits compared to the matching process held by a local agency.

    1. Agency fee: 55 – 8,000 USD
