About The Au Pair Club

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, all in one secure space.
