Find Your Match First, The Agency Second
Find your match with less hassle.
At Au Pair Matcher, we have seen how difficult the au pair and host family search can be. Au pairs spend money and time signing up with one agency, just to wait for the host family to select them. This leads many to use social media, only to have messages ignored and time wasted.
The host family’s process is just as time-consuming. Completing multiple applications on agency websites leads to endless scrolling through minimal filters. It can be even more disappointing when a connection is requested and denied without any conversations. This has also led to host families conducting their search on social media, but it often results in a bombardment of messages that don’t meet their requirements.
In the United States, matching comes with added complexity. Families must go through a Department of State–designated agency, and both sides must meet strict eligibility criteria. Unlike in other countries where more flexibility is allowed, U.S. regulations require official agency involvement for a legal au pair placement. This makes finding the right person even more important—and more challenging.
Au Pair Matcher takes the best of both the agency portals and social media. The application delves more into who the au pair and host family are, getting you to your match faster! Au Pair Matcher also has the unique feature of postings by host families and schools. It is easy to browse, and you never know what you’ll come across next!
