More Affordable Than Private Nannies!
Is your family paying too much for a private nanny? More families are realizing the benefits of hosting an Au Pair compared to hiring a Nanny!
Host Families get to set house rules, curfew, day/night guests, work/vacation schedules plus TV, phone, internet & gaming usage! Nannies may have outside responsibilities that define their schedules more rigidly than an Au Pair who lives with you!
Hosting an Au Pair, you interview over time, Skype with your Au Pair & family/friends, over multiple occasions. Most Nannies don’t offer you to also interview their family/friends!

Au Pairs pass a criminal background check, previous childcare references (not family members) & school have been agency-verified; if you want a background check for a Nanny, pay for it & check references yourself.
Infant-qualified Au Pair profiles even show you how many hours with each age group (under 2 yrs) is verified experience.
Au Pairs are the perfect age (18-26) to be responsible, yet active, with your kids; they are not teenagers, but also not “boring.” Au Pairs pass health exams & psychometric testing to determine they are right for the program; a Nanny may be unable to relate to young children or may not be the people-person as-advertised.
Au Pairs from Go Au Pair complete 32 hrs of training including child development, focusing on U.S. specific safety practices & review of CPR/First Aid procedures; no specific training is required for a person to call themselves a Nanny.
