Free Au Pair Matching for Profiles and Family Requests
The platform removes the fee barrier from the first step. Both sides can organize their needs, review public previews, and request introductions without paying AuPair Advisers.
Applications have three steps and require 3–5 photos. No password is needed. The team follows up by email after review. Family photos can show parents or shared spaces; children do not need to appear.

These points keep the matching process practical and reduce weak conversations before either side shares private details.
Review still matters
Free should not mean messy. Profiles and family briefs still need enough structure for timing, childcare needs, driving, and expectations to make sense.

Sponsor, visa, travel, stipend, education, insurance, legal, tax, and agency costs are outside the platform and should be checked with the relevant provider or professional.

Families should start with schedule and care needs. Au pairs should start with experience and availability. Both paths route serious requests into review.

What free matching should mean for users
The platform has no application, review or introduction-request fee. Hosting still has sponsor and household costs. Check the complete budget before deciding whether the arrangement fits your family.
You can create a profile, browse public previews, submit a family request, and ask for introductions without a platform fee. Sponsor and program expenses remain separate.
For host families
Use free access to create a family brief, compare profile previews, and request introductions only after schedule, room setup, driving, and timing are clear.
Host an au pairFor au pairs
Use free access to create a profile, organize experience, upload photos, and become easier for families to evaluate.
Become an au pairFor rematch situations
Use the same free workflow to organize urgent timing and fit signals while sponsor-specific deadlines stay with the official sponsor.
Review rematch support Practical guidance
Why free access still needs structure
Free marketplaces can turn low-quality when every message is open and unreviewed. AuPair Advisers should win by keeping public discovery easy while preserving a reviewed step before sensitive introductions.
Choose your next step: prepare a family request or au pair profile, review costs and eligibility, or discuss rematch timing with your sponsor before requesting introductions.
Public preview
Enough information to decide whether a profile or family brief is worth exploring.
Private request
Sensitive details move behind signup and review before introductions are considered.
Clear disclaimer
Platform access is free; program, sponsor, visa, travel, insurance, tax, legal, and third-party costs are separate.
FAQ
Questions people usually need answered first.
For visa, sponsor, tax, insurance, or legal decisions, confirm details with the official sponsor or qualified professional.
Is au pair matching really free on AuPair Advisers?
The core AuPair Advisers workflow currently has no platform fee for au pairs or host families. Profile creation, public previews, and reviewed intro requests are free.
What is included in the free matching workflow?
The workflow includes role-based signup, profile or family brief creation, public preview browsing, review, and introduction requests when the fit looks serious.
What costs are not included?
Visa sponsor, government, travel, insurance, tax, legal, and third-party agency costs are separate from AuPair Advisers and should be confirmed independently.
Why require review if matching is free?
Review keeps requests practical. It helps confirm that timing, schedule, photos, care needs, and expectations are specific enough before introductions move forward.
Can families and au pairs both start free?
Yes. Families can create a request and au pairs can create a profile without paying a platform fee. Each side should still verify official program requirements separately.
