Finding reliable childcare for your family can be challenging. If you are looking for a childcare solution that is flexible and affordable, hosting an au pair offers safe, personalized care all in the comfort and security of your own home.

At Au Pair Care, we believe that every family deserves quality, affordable childcare. As one of the first au pair agencies designated by the U.S. Department of State, we’ve placed more than 40,000 au pairs and earned an A+ Rating from the Better Business Bureau. Providing you with constant support starts with our Area Directors in San Francisco, Marin, Alameda, Contra Costa, Sonoma and Napa Counties. As members of the community, they will support you and your au pair for the entire duration of the program.

If you’re interested in finding the right au pair for you, you can start a search for au pairs, or you can read on to learn more about the advantages of Au Pair Care childcare.

Affordable Childcare in the Bay Area

Hosting an au pair is surprisingly affordable. You can have live-in childcare for just $350 per week, or about $7.75 an hour. San Francisco, East Bay and North Bay families know the cost of daycare can far exceed this amount, even before fees are added for enrolling multiple children.

Au pairs provide your children with a unique cultural experience as compared to the services provided by daycares and nannies. By electing to host an au pair, you'll also benefit from the specialized training and 24/7 support provided by Au Pair Care. There’s no hassle to reschedule care when something comes up. Au pairs work up to 45 hours a week on a flexible schedule that will suit your family's needs.

Find the Right Au Pair Online

To ensure that your children receive the best care possible, Au Pair Care carefully screens all au pairs during the admissions process and our 20-year experience and status as an industry leader allows us to admit only the best au pairs for training at our Au Pair Academy.

It is also important that each family finds an au pair whose background and personality are compatible with their own. Using our our award-winning online matching system, you can search our entire pool of au pairs based on fifteen different criteria, including nationality, language, gender, ability to drive, interests, skills and childcare experience. You will also be able to view au pair photos and videos and read their applications.

And as always, Au Pair Care’s Match Experts are also available to guide you through the selection process, providing customized au pair recommendations for your family. They can answer questions, offer advice and set up international interview phone calls for free.
