Got Questions?
How quickly can I find someone?
Most families message their first candidates within hours of signing up. How quickly you hire depends on how many you message and how fast they reply. We only show active profiles, so the people you see have logged in recently.
Can I contact au pairs directly?
Yes. Once you have access, you message candidates directly through the platform. No middleman, no agency coordinating your conversations.
What should I look for?
Start with the basics: location, availability, and experience level. Then look at their bio, references, and any verification badges. A video introduction, where available, gives you a stronger sense of who they are before you message.
What if I don't know what to pay?
Our salary guide gives you a clear picture of what families in your area are paying right now. You can also see the salary range families have listed on their own profiles when browsing.
Is my family's information safe?
Your contact details are only shared with an au pair once you choose to connect. Families message first — no au pair can contact you unsolicited.
What's AuPairly's role after hire?
We help you find the right person. The interview, trial, and contract are yours to run. We don't get involved beyond the introduction.
How do I know candidates are active?
We only show profiles from au pairs who have logged in within the last 3 months. If someone goes inactive, their profile is hidden from search.
Can I verify a candidate?
Yes. Many au pairs on AuPairly have completed ID verification, reference checks, or criminal record checks. You can filter for verified candidates and see their badges on every profile.
