About us
The ‘why’ behind everything we do
Hey There! 👋
Welcome to The Au Pair Club
We know the struggle all too well:
→ Endless applications
→ Agencies that don’t call back
→ And silence when you need answers the most
It feels like the odds are stacked against you, and you’re left wondering, “Will I ever get noticed?”
That’s exactly why we created The Au Pair Club.
We’ve been in your shoes, and we get it: the system is broken, and too many amazing Au Pairs and Families are left feeling invisible and undervalued.
Established in 2016
The Au Pair Club is here to change the game
We believe that finding the perfect childcare match should be simple, empowering, and focused on you.
Our Story
Whether you’re a family looking for trusted childcare support or an au pair ready to build skills and explore new opportunities, we’re here to make that journey easier and more rewarding.
Why We Started:
The Au Pair Club was founded in 2016 by former au pairs who knew the challenges of traditional agencies all too well. We saw how difficult it was for au pairs to secure reliable jobs, and how the industry lacked training to build the skills families actually needed.
So, we stepped up and combined our experience and became the first Au Pair Agency in South Africa to offer online au pair courses. Since then, we’ve empowered over 3,000 au pairs with the skills, confidence, and knowledge that families trust.
But the challenges in the industry haven’t gone away 😫
The childcare industry is still frustrating for everyone involved:
→ Long, outdated application processes
→ High placement fees
→ Endless waiting
→ And little control over the process
The reality is:
Traditional Au Pair Agencies are still lagging behind, using outdated systems that put up barriers instead of building connections. 👀
Families are left paying high fees, facing limited choices, and waiting endlessly, while au pairs feel powerless, often left wondering if they’ll ever find the right role.
At The Au Pair Club, we knew there had to be a better way. 🤷♀️
That’s why we created a fully digital platform to put control back in your hands—without the placement fees. Now, families and au pairs can connect directly, anytime and anywhere, without outdated processes holding them back.
Not only do we connect families and au pairs directly, but we also offer high-quality training so that au pairs feel confident, capable, and ready to stand out.
With The Au Pair Club, you’re getting the best of modern childcare solutions making finding the right match simpler, faster, and more accessible for everyone involved.
But don't take our word for it, read why Au Pairs trust us

I had the best experience. I didn’t know what to expect at first but the site was so quick and easy to learn how to use. You can go through all of the information on your own time, log in and out just as you would wish to do. The communication is exceptional. I would send an email and get a respons almost immediately (10min max). And for the slightest inconvenience they apologised and gave me a R100 voucher for my next course. This is the kind of service you need.
Thank you so much for everything The Au Pair Club!

I absolutely LOVE The Au Pair Club. Personally, I have completed all of their courses and have adored every single one of them. (my favourite was the Au Pair Training and the infant course) but they were all super helpful! The certificate is awesome, the Online Au Pair Academy is easy to use and there are tons of fun videos which makes learning fun and exciting. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for Au Pair Courses and placement to consider The Au Pair Club!

I had an incredible experience with The Au Pair Club. The Team is awesome and the student support was great. If I ever needed to know something or needed help with my courses, the team were always willing to help. The au pair courses are informative and the Online Academy is easy to navigate through, with videos, free resources, and downloadable certificates. It’s really easy, I LOVE it. I’m definitely going to register for more courses

Absolutely loved the team, the website and the course from day 1! My problems were always solved swiftly and professionally.
The staff are absolutely amazing and don’t even get me started on the course. It’s absolutely wonderful and super informative.
If I could give another 5 stars to The Au Pair Club, I would. The level of professionalism and care is extraordinary.

This is the best online course that I have done. And during the lockdown I have done many courses but neither of the other places gave me such quick response when I had a question. And most of my emails where after 6 or on a Saturday!! You would not make a mistake to complete a course through The Au Pair Club.

This training course is very effective and simple . They break everything down for you into sections. Each section is clear and you are able to grasp things quickly. Examples are provided as well . The best thing is you can always come back to finish if you are busy .
I LOVE IT !!

It’s clear that the team behind these courses not only deeply understands the industry but also cares about our success.

I was initially hesitant to switch from traditional au pair agencies to an online course, but The Au Pair Club completely changed my perspective. The personalised support from their friendly team and the expert knowledge shared throughout the courses have been invaluable. I’ve learned so much more than I expected, and I now have a solid foundation in childcare that I didn’t get elsewhere.
