Hello, Bonjour, Hola, G'Day.
Welcome
You found us! We’re so glad you’re here.
The Au Pair Movement (and this website) is devoted to revolutionising what it means to be an Au Pair in today’s world.
Our vision is to connect au pairs GLOBALLY. Our mission, is simple – to help you get the most out of your au pair experience.
The Au Pair Movement was created by an au pair specifically for au pairs so we understand better than anyone that you might be feeling a little nervous about your experience (it’s totally normal), but we’ve got good news…
You’re in the right place.
This is the place to be for sharing tools, tips and tricks from those who have already walked the path so that you don’t have to waste any time figuring out this Au Pairing thing on your own.
And perhaps most importantly The Au Pair Movement is a community offering support and a sense of belonging to anybody courageous enough to be an Au Pair.
You are exactly where you need to be.
Let us help you get where you want to go.
And let’s have some fun along the way.

Anna KopylovaRussian Au Pair in US
That book is OMG THANK YOU!! 💛
I was reading this book and was preparing for my interview at the US Embassy. I wasn't even afraid because this book was supporting me through all that time, and now... I AM HERE! I love it! Thank you one more time!
Joanna NachmanLinguistics Student, Ex-Au Pair
Inspiring, heart-warming
Not only does this book give practical tips about au pairing but also says that it is OK to not know what to do after studies and follow your path. That au pairing is not only (but also!) for people after high school. For me, this book was like a therapy and a real life-changer. Highly recommended!
Juliana PiperPodcast Host, Ex-Au Pair
I truly love your purpose.
It was so hard for me to connect with other Au Pairs back when I was one. Such beautiful work and so needed by this community. Thank you for creating this movement.
Anna LorenzTravel Agent, German Au Pair in Australia
I love it!
It's not just a book. It's inspiration. It's motivation. It's the feeling of being understood. I love it!
Samantha LorenziniItalian Au Pair in San Francisco
If you want, you can do it.
Sometimes people ask me "Why are you an Au Pair?" Well, it's not too easy to explain. It's something you actually have to try one time in your life. And if you have any doubts or you are scared to leave your own place, please read this book and remember... never back down, if you want, you can do it.
