You’re not just joining a family. You’re joining a city.

The first weeks are exciting: a new family, a new city, a new language. Your host family usually quickly becomes part of your life — they’re only a bit older than you and have their own daily routine with the children. For Saturday evenings you’ll eventually want people your own age. That’s why we show you other Au-Pairs near your host family — and in a second tab, those who aren’t there yet. When someone registers their placement, they provide the city and start date. If that stay begins within the next eight weeks in your area, you’ll see the person now — you can message each other before either of you arrives. Especially when you’re new, this is the more valuable list: you can start together. This is always free for Au-Pairs. It also applies if you found your host family through another site — just create a free profile. Others never see your address, only the city and a rough distance range; you’re visible only when you want to be. How the community works →
