First of all, you need to get registered on AuPair.com. The website offers you the chance to register for free and create a personal profile with pictures, an introduction letter and the job description.
You can find Au Pairs from all over the world who meet your personal requirements.
Finding the right Au Pair might take some time. Thus, we recommend to start looking for your Au Pair ahead of time (3-6 months before you want your Au Pair to arrive).
In case you’ve found an Au Pair, you as a host family and your Au Pair also need to find a sponsor for the exchange program (a local agency) in order to apply for a visa.
