About Us
Au Pair Care is the premier au pair agency providing live-in childcare to American host families. In 1989, Au Pair Care became one of the first au pair agencies designated by the United States Department of State to legally sponsor au pairs to come to the United States. Since then, we've made more than 40,000 successful au pair placements across the U.S. Our au pairs come from more than 40 countries and have been fully screened by Au Pair Care. They all have previous childcare experience, speak English, and have a sincere interest in living with an American family. Most importantly, they love children and enjoy spending time with them.
Au Pair Care is a division of Intrax, a family of organizations devoted to cultivating international understanding through cultural exchange and educational travel, with operations in over 80 countries worldwide. Our sister companies include AYUSA, Intrax Career Development, Intrax International Institute, YES Abroad, Intrax Internships Abroad and Lango.

“I am writing this letter to commend a member of your matching expert team, Brooke Logterman. I contacted Brooke as soon as I enrolled with Au Pair Care and within hours she had sent me three VERY suitable au pairs to consider. Brooke suggested our current au pair, Elphia, for us because of her experience caring for twins (which we have) and she has been a perfect match for our family.”
