Finding our au pair through AuPairNow was the best decision we made. Our children adore her, and she's become part of our family. The verification process gave us complete peace of mind.
I was nervous about becoming an au pair, but AuPairNow made it so easy. The platform helped me find a wonderful family, and the support team was there every step of the way.
After trying other platforms, AuPairNow stood out with its focus on the South African market. We found someone who understood our culture and values perfectly.
We were relocating to Cape Town and needed childcare sorted before we arrived. AuPairNow connected us with a wonderful au pair who even helped our kids settle into their new school. She feels like an older sister to them now.
As a young graduate looking for meaningful work, AuPairNow opened doors I didn't know existed. My host family in Bryanston treats me like their own daughter and supports my part-time studies. I couldn't be happier.
With three kids under seven, we needed someone reliable and energetic. The matching algorithm was spot-on — our au pair is incredible with the children and genuinely enjoys spending time with them. Best investment we've made.
Safety was my biggest concern when looking for a host family. AuPairNow's verification process and background checks gave me confidence that the families I was speaking to were genuine. I felt protected from day one.
We've recommended AuPairNow to every parent we know. The platform is easy to use, the profiles are detailed, and the support team actually cares. We found our perfect match within two weeks.
I've been with my host family for over a year now, and it all started on AuPairNow. The platform helped me find a long-term placement that fits my lifestyle. The children call me "Auntie Zee" and I wouldn't trade this experience for anything.
