Quality of Au Pairs

Agent Au Pair’s au pairs are pre-screened and held to the highest standards.  The rigorous admissions process requires au pairs to complete a comprehensive background screening including verifiable childcare experience and passing strict requirements to be accepted into our program.

An Agent Au Pair representative interviews each of our au pair candidates in person.  Au pairs must pass a psychometric test, submit a detailed background check and provide a history of childcare experience, skills and training.  All potential au pairs must submit 2 non-family childcare references, a character reference, physician's report, proof of completion of secondary school and a letter explaining why they want to be an au pair. Our screening process is set up to ensure that only the most mature, responsible, and caring individuals are accepted into the program.  View Available Au Pairs here.
