Au Pair Placement Process

Timing
From the time you apply until your Au Pair arrives is approximately 8 weeks on average. This amount will vary depending on how long it takes you to select an AUPAIR and the visa process. goAUPAIR does offer Short Term Placements for families who need childcare sooner.

Steps
The following steps outline the process of bringing an AUPAIR to your home.

1. The first step is to submit an application to goAUPAIR. Your application will include information that you may share with potential Au Pairs such as a typical schedule, house rules and pictures. You can also start your AUPAIR search first through goAUPAIR's free Au Pair Preview. The Au Pair Preview provides you with access to hundreds of our most qualified available Au Pairs. Start your AUPAIR search today.

2. After your application has been processed, your Placement Coordinator will review your preferences and qualifications you are looking for in an Au Pair and begin sending you AUPAIR files. These files are about 30 pages long and contain detailed information about each applicant. You will view the files through your Online Host Family Portal.

3. When you have found the right AUPAIR for your family you will offer her the position. Through goAUPAIR's Mutual Match program, we allow our Au Pairs to accept or decline a Host Family's offer. This allows families to make the best possible matches that are mutually accepted.

4. Once your match has been confirmed, your Placement Coordinator will begin the arrival process. goAUPAIR will issue the DS-2019 so your AUPAIR may visit the U.S. embassy in her home country for a visa interview. You will be contacted by goAUPAIR's Travel Coordinator who will discuss your flight preferences. goAUPAIR is the only U.S. agency that books each flight individually so that we may tailor your Au Pair's arrival to your schedule.
