Au Pair Agency Costs for Host Families

Paying late fees for every minute, taking vacation days for sick days and school closures, and seeing increasing rates as families grow - these are among the factors that lead many parents to choose the flexibility and affordability of an au pair over other childcare options like daycare and nannies. Our transparent, flat pricing structure (under $8 an hour), enables you to budget your childcare for the entire year since the cost remains the same, even as your family grows.

$18,183 /yr
$1,515 /mo
$350 /wk
}

Total cost covers the stipend paid to your au pair, AuPairCare program fees and the application fee.

Plus, you get the cultural exchange experience of a lifetime!

Program Fees Include:

    • Au Pair Screening and Matching

    • Au Pair Training Academy

    • Au Pair's Travel and Accident Insurance

    • International Airfare for your au pair

    • Year-long support from AuPairCare and your local Area Director

Not included in our pricing are variable and optional costs, such as our Academy Travel Service from Au Pair Academy to your home city, automobile insurance (should you choose to let your au pair drive), and up to $500 for educational reimbursement for your au pair.

Additional Program Options

  • Infant Specialized Au Pairs

    • For an additional $950, hire an Infant Specialized au pair who has experience caring for babies and receives extra training in infant specific topics at Au Pair Academy.

  • In-Country Au Pairs

    • Some families may fit best with an au pair who is already in the United States. 

      The program fee for an in-country au pair is $650 per month remaining on the au pair’s visa (months left on visa x $650 = Total Program Fee) plus the weekly stipend paid directly to the au pair. Availability is limited and dependent on factors such as the au pair’s current location, qualifications and date of availability. Families are responsible for the cost of the au pair's transportation to the new community, and the program fee is due in full upon matching.

      Extension Pricing

      Current families can choose to extend for 6, 9 or 12 months with their current au pair. Learn more about Extension Pricing.
