Pro Tips for a succesful au pair search and match!
Create an attractive profile which is personalized

When creating your host family profile - be sure to add plenty of information about your family, what hobbies you and your children have, what you like to do on the weekends. The au pairs want to see if they will fit in well with your family.

Good Photos:

Be sure to add lots of photos, not only of your family, children ( and pets) - but also of your home/ garden/yard/ au pair's bedroom/ neighbourhood photos too. These photos bring your profile to life and gives the au pairs a glimpse into your life.

Mention previous child care providers/nannies or au pairs, some families even add a photo too.

Be honest about your expectations for your au pair. Be sure the schedule shows the required 1.5 consecutive days off and shows a realistic schedule that the au pair will be expected to work.
