Most families who have never heard of AuPairCare have many questions about how the program works. Here are just a few...
How soon after we apply can we expect an au pair to arrive at our home?
The process typically takes 6 to 10 weeks from the time you apply to the program to the time the au pair arrives in your home. Once we receive your au pair application and references, an Au Pair Care representative will schedule an in-home interview with you. You will be able to review au pair applications shortly thereafter. The variable in the timeline is the matching process. If you have very specific criteria that you are looking for, your match and arrival may take a bit longer. On average, however, our families complete the process within the 6 to 10 weeks.
Can we get an au pair anytime?
Yes. Au Pair Care can place an au pair year round. Au pairs are scheduled to arrive to the U.S. approximately every two weeks and more often during the summer months.
Do you offer male au pairs as well as female au pairs?
Yes. Male au pairs make excellent, nurturing caregivers to children. With a male au pair, it’s like having an older brother and role model for your children.
How do we select our au pair?
Using Family Room, Au Pair Care’s unique online matching system, you can view au pair profiles that are compatible with your family’s needs. You are able to select au pairs you are interested in interviewing and review their complete au pair application - all online at anytime! We also offer you the assistance of a Matching Expert to support you in the matching process.
What if I don’t like my au pair once they get here?
Your local Au Pair Care representative will work with you to solve any issues that may arise. We will start by identifying the issue and attempt to solve the problem through mediation and guidance. If this approach is unsuccessful, you have the option of receiving a replacement au pair.
