About Us
A global childcare platform built for Au Pairs, Families, & Au Pair Agencies 🌎🤍
Who We Are
Established in 2016, The Au Pair Club is a global childcare platform built for families, caregivers, and agencies who care about children.
We started with a simple goal: to make childcare training easy, accessible, and truly affordable.
Since then, we’ve built a Job Portal and Community that gives everyone a safer, purpose-built space for childcare connections.
Think of it like Facebook but 100% for childcare. Make connections, share advice, post jobs, save CVs, and build your childcare network in one secure space.
Families find and hire trained childcare providers – no placement fees.
Caregivers take our online training, earn certificates, and apply for:
- Local jobs in 🇿🇦 South Africa
- International placements (through our partner, Genesis Au Pairs) in 🇺🇸 USA | 🇳🇱 Netherlands | 🇧🇪 Belgium | 🇩🇪 Germany | 🇦🇹 Austria | 🇨🇭 Switzerland | 🇨🇳 China
Partner agencies post jobs, manage candidates, and make hiring simpler through our Job Portal.
