Frequently Asked Questions
What tasks can an Aupair support during the day?
Aupairs help with morning and evening routines, school runs (if licensed), after-school care, child-related household chores (e.g., kids’ laundry, dishes, toy cleanup), preparing lunches, and supporting homework and playtime. They're not housekeepers but offer reliable child-focused support.
Can families remain hands-on while still receiving help?
Yes — Aupairs work alongside families, providing extra hands rather than replacing the parenting role
How flexible are Aupairs with scheduling changes?
Most Aupairs adapt well to family rhythms. We recommend planning a consistent base schedule with a Plan B for travel or illness.
What kind of schedule coverage can we expect?
Aupairs can support full days (within hour limits), split shifts, evenings, occasional weekends, and extended hours during school holidays as agreed
Can Aupairs assist during child sick days or emergencies?
Yes — as long as hours stay within limits. For dual illness (child and Aupair), we recommend having a backup plan.
Is the program suitable for single or work-from-home parents?
Absolutely. Aupairs thrive in various household structures with good boundaries and clear communication
Will the Aupair feel like a housemate or family?
Aupairs integrate as part of the family while respecting personal space and boundaries.
How do we set clear expectations?
We support you in creating a structured plan covering roles, routines, house rules, and communication
Will Aupairs share their culture or language?
Yes — this is a highlight for many families. Aupairs often teach songs, basic phrases, games, and introduce cultural traditions
Can we request a specific nationality or cultural background?
Yes — we accommodate preferences where possible during matching
Do we get to interview candidates?
Yes — we arrange Zoom interviews for families to assess fit
How many profiles will we see?
Typically 2–3 tailored matches based on your family’s needs
Do you vet Aupairs?
Yes — we require Working With Children Checks, police checks, references, and conduct thorough screenings
What if we don’t need a driver?
We’ll match you with a non-driving Aupair if driving isn’t required.
How many hours can an Aupair work?
Up to 35 hours per week. The first 15 hours cover room and board; remaining hours are paid at $25/hour by the family
Can hours increase during holidays or trips?
Yes — if within legal/visa limits and agreed in advance.
What time off do they receive?
Typically 2 days off per week and 1–2 weeks of paid leave after 6 months
Can they pause duties while we travel?
Yes — families can discuss whether the Aupair stays, travels independently, or returns home
What happens if things don’t work out?
We provide mediation, coaching, and rematching as needed
What if our needs change over time?
We offer ongoing support through check-ins and adjustment advice
Can Aupairs extend their stay?
Yes — we assist with planning and visa guidance if both parties agree
What happens in an emergency?
We coordinate temporary cover or help arrange a new placement if needed
Can we use daycare and have an Aupair?
Yes — many families use both for flexibility or reduced Aupair hours
Should we reduce daycare if we have an Aupair?
It’s optional — some families scale back to create more bonding time with the Aupair.
Can Aupairs accompany us on holidays?
Yes — just clarify whether their time is on-duty or off-duty
