Connecting Families
Building Futures

South Africa's most trusted platform for matching families with caring au pairs. We believe every child deserves quality care, and every au pair deserves a great experience.

About AuPairNow

Where the right families and the right au pairs find each other.

AuPairNow is a modern au pair platform built for South African families and au pairs who want a simpler, safer, more reliable way to connect. We built it after experiencing firsthand how outdated and time-consuming finding an au pair in South Africa had become.

For families, it had meant endless WhatsApp groups, outdated websites, and references checked on hope and a phone call. For au pairs, vague job descriptions, little transparency, and applications disappearing into the void.

So we built something better.

At the centre of AuPairNow is our AI-powered au pair matching, designed to consider lifestyle, schedules, personality, experience, and family dynamics, not just availability. Around it sit verified profiles, references on file, optional background check, secure messaging, and a mobile-friendly platform that actually works.

Whether you need full-time support, a few afternoons a week, your first au pair role, or something more flexible, AuPairNow is the modern way to find au pairs in South Africa.

Welcome to AuPairNow.
