How to Become an Au Pair & Find a Host Family

Want to travel, experience a new culture, improve your language skills, and make memories you'll never forget? Becoming an au pair is one of the best ways to do it.

Getting started on Auost is easy.

Step 1: Create Your Account

Register on Auost and create your free profile.

Step 2: Confirm Your Registration

Check your email and click the confirmation link to activate your account.

Step 3: Complete Your Profile

Your profile is the first thing families see, so make it count.

Upload a few good photos, write a short introduction about yourself, and share your childcare experience, hobbies, and interests.

A complete profile helps families get to know the real you.

Step 4: Get Verified

Verified profiles build trust and stand out in search results.

Families are more likely to connect with au pairs who have completed the verification process.

Step 5: Answer the Match Questions

Tell us about your personality, childcare experience, and preferences.

Our matching system will then show you host families that are most compatible with you.

No random matches. Just families that fit what you're looking for.

Step 6: Search for Families

Want to explore on your own?

Use the search bar to browse host family profiles and discover opportunities that match your goals.

Step 7: Start Chatting

Found a family you like?

Simply click the chat icon on their profile and introduce yourself.

Ask questions, schedule video calls, and learn more about each other before making any decisions.

Take Your Time

One of the biggest mistakes many au pairs make is rushing the matching process.

The right host family isn't necessarily the first family you speak with.

Take time to chat, ask questions, and make sure your expectations align.

Ready to Start?

Create your profile, complete your information, and start connecting with host families from around the world.

Your next adventure could be just one message away.
