  • Matching suitable au pair profiles
  • Documents & process guidance
  • Digital signature in the My Family Au Pair App — no printing or scanning
  • Support for host family and au pair after arrival
  • Clear expectation-setting and conflict moderation when needed

Communication is our strength: realistic expectations on both sides, close contact, early clarification.

My Family Au Pair App

Sign documents digitally — no printer or scanner

In our app, host families can digitally sign key placement documents. That means no printing, handwritten signing, and scanning again — the process stays traceable, low-paper, and much faster.

What this means for you

  • Review and sign contracts and documents directly in the app
  • No printing, scanning, or emailing PDFs back and forth
  • Less paperwork — more time to prepare for your au pair

Part of our full service

Digital signature is built into our structured workflows: you see which documents are due, sign conveniently on your phone or tablet, and we move faster to the next step — such as visa and arrival.

In-depth consultation

€89.90 one-time · about 60 minutes by phone or video

Ideal if you have never had an au pair and online research leaves you with more questions than answers. We share our own host-parent experience and learnings from many placements.

Typical topics

  • How much flexibility is realistic?
  • What does “light housework” mean?
  • How does the visa process work?
  • What if it doesn’t work out?
  • Self-search vs. agency
