Add first reviewSince 2015

Become an au pair in Germany and experience everyday life with a German host family while improving your language skills, discovering a new culture, and gaining valuable childcare experience. My Family Au Pair connects responsible and caring young people with carefully selected host families throughout Germany. Our team supports you from your initial application to your arrival and throughout your time as an au pair. After reviewing your application, we invite suitable candidates to an interview and introduce them to host families matching their experience, personality, and expectations. Once you have chosen a family, we guide you through preparing your Au Pair contract, visa documents, and embassy appointment. We also provide practical information to help you prepare for life in Germany. After your arrival, we remain available to answer questions, assist with cultural differences, and mediate if challenges arise with your host family. Applying through My Family Au Pair is free of charge for au pairs.
