Au Pair and Host family mutual match

goAUPAIR developed the Mutual Match system based on our 20 years of experience to help Host Families find the best possible Au Pair for their needs.

Through the Mutual Match system, goAUPAIR does not set a limit on the number of Au Pair files that a Host Family can view. goAUPAIR will let you review as many as you need based on your preferences. While your Placement Coordinator will identify the candidates that meet your needs, you will be able to choose which Au Pair is the best match for your family.

Placement Coordinator
Throughout the Mutual Match process, you will work with a dedicated Placement Coordinator who will review in detail your preferences and what you are looking for in an Au Pair. Your Placement Coordinator is responsible for only sending you Au Pair files which meet your qualifications.

All of the Au Pair files are reviewed online through goAUPAIR's online Host Family Portal. This portal is available for you to access 24/7 so that you may review Au Pair files when it is convenient for you.
Interviewing Au Pairs

Host Families conduct interviews with potential Au Pairs over the phone. When a family reviews an Au Pair's profile and is interested in speaking with her, they simply call for an interview. In order to help you make the most out of your interviews, your Placement Coordinator will provide you with detailed telephone tips that help you ask questions relevant to what you are looking for in an Au Pair. It is best to speak with an Au Pair multiple times before making a decision to ensure that you have found the best possible candidate.


As part of the interview process, you can request that parts of your application are sent to Au Pairs that you are interested in. This allows Au Pairs to learn about the responsibilities she will have and the rules you would like her to follow.



Making the Match
The final stage of the Mutual Match process comes when the actual match is made. When you have found the best fit for your family, you will offer that Au Pair the position. With Mutual Match, Au Pairs are given the choice to accept or decline an offer so that you are confident your Au Pair agrees to the match.
