Who we are and what defines us
Since 1999, Domestic Au Pair World offers applicants and Host Families a platform to get to know each other - without additional placement fees. Here you can search for the right candidate or Host Family and organize the stay together. You will find all the information you need and step by step guides that will help you through the process. Our website is available in eight different languages, so it is easy for everybody to understand.
We are grateful that with our Au Pair programs we can make a small contribution to making the world a more peaceful and lovable place by
-
reducing prejudices through intercultural contacts
-
supporting the work-life balance of families
-
strengthening the self-confidence of young women and host mothers in particular
We bring different cultures together and the result is
-
mutual understanding
-
international friendships
-
prevention of nationalism and wars
-
self-confident, young women who understand the host country better and are connected to it
Apart from the obvious advantages of the Au Pair program, there are also effects that are not obvious at first glance.
Most of the time, it concerns mothers who would have to give up their jobs and careers to raise their children. An Au Pair gives especially women the opportunity to return to their jobs or to get free time and relaxation from raising children. This increases the host mothers' self-esteem and independence, which has a positive effect on family life.
What makes us different from other Au Pair agencies
In order to enjoy all the positive aspects of the Au Pair programme, whether as an Au Pair or as a Host Family, the Au Pair and the Host Family must be a good match. This is not just about childcare, but about a harmonious partnership between the Host Family and the Au Pair. Only then will the Au Pair leave the host country with positive impressions and have found a new home; just as the Host Family has found a new family member and broken down the prejudices against people from other cultures and countries.
Our customers are enthusiastic about our service, because every Host Family can find the right Au Pair for them with us. We support your search with the following functions:
-
