Connecting Families, Building Futures
South Africa's most trusted platform for matching families with caring au pairs.
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 We built it after experiencing firsthand how outdated and time-consuming finding an au pair in South Africa had become.
For families, it had meant endless WhatsApp groups, outdated websites, and references checked on hope and a phone call.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.
Our Verification Badge System
Five badges that show, at a glance, how thoroughly each profile has been verified — so families and au pairs can make confident decisions.
Email Verified
We confirm every user holds the email address they signed up with — the first line of trust.
Phone Verified
A real, reachable mobile number on file. Reduces ghost accounts and makes contact easier when a match clicks.
ID Verified
Government-issued ID checked against the profile name and photo. AI-assisted, manually reviewed for edge cases.
References on File
At least two prior employers / character references vetted by our team before the badge is awarded.
Background Check
Optional but encouraged: a current South African Police Service clearance certificate verified by our compliance team.
