How it works

Five steps from profile to arrival.

AuPairGo replaces the traditional au-pair agency — and not just the matching, but everything that comes after. Here is the full flow, transparent and in your language.

The flow

What happens in what order.

  1. 1

    1. Create your profile

    Au pairs and families create a verified profile. The same questions an agency would ask — language skills, experience with kids, family setup, preferences — but self-driven and without an upfront fee.

    Takes: 10–20 minutes

  2. 2

    2. Match

    Our matching algorithm shows each family the au pairs that actually fit — based on 14 criteria (age, languages, experience, target country, start date, …). Au pairs see families that fit them. Both sides choose freely.

    First matches: usually within 48 hours

  3. 3

    3. Meet

    Chat directly in the app — messages auto-translate to your mother tongue. Video calls for a real first conversation. We recommend at least three calls before either side decides.

    Window: 2–4 weeks

  4. 4

    4. Visa & contract

    We provide the contract (legally sound, in both languages) and walk you through every step of the visa process for your country. Authority checklist and travel-health-insurance recommendation included.

    Processing: 4–12 weeks depending on country

  5. 5

    5. Arrival & support

    After arrival we stay alongside you: weekly pulse-checks, 7-day rapid response when something goes wrong, mediation in conflicts, and — when needed — fast transfer to another family in the same country.

    All year long

What we do — what you do

What it costs — in one line.

For au pairs

€0

Always free. Profile, chat, matching, visa guide, support — you pay nothing.

For host families

€29 / month

Family Pro: all premium features, cancel monthly. Traditional agencies charge €500 up-front — we charge €29 a month, so €348 a year.
