Welcome to The Au Pair Club Academy

Because families won’t trust you with their children if you don’t know what you’re doing.

No training = no job.

Here’s the truth:

• Families get hundreds of applications – trained au pairs get picked first
• You’ll earn R5,000-R8,000 MORE per month with training
• Untrained au pairs struggle to find good families and get lower pay
• One emergency situation without training could end your career

Our courses teach you:

• How to handle crying, tantrums, and difficult behaviour
• What to do in emergencies (choking, injuries, etc.)
• How to communicate with parents professionally
• Age-appropriate activities and learning support

Reality check: Would you hire someone to watch your children who had no training?

Neither will families.

Get trained, get hired, get paid better.

It’s that simple 😊

Absolutely! Our courses are designed for all experience levels, including complete beginners.

If you’re new to childcare:

We recommend starting with our Au Pair Training Course to build your foundation.

View our “no experience” guide

Many of our most successful au pairs started with zero experience 😊

What matters most is your passion for working with children and your commitment to learning!

At The Au Pair Club, each course takes about 4-5 hours to go through.

You can work through the course at your own pace using very little data. You do not have to worry about doing an exam or test.

You will receive an internationally recognised certificate once you have completed your training, and access to our Global Job Portal.

We can’t guarantee you a job – no one can honestly make that promise.

But we do everything possible to help you succeed 😊

What we DO provide:

• Job search guidance and application tips
• Help creating a professional profile that families notice
• Interview preparation and practice
• Direct connections to families looking for trained au pairs
• Ongoing support until you find the right placement

Our students have a high success rate because:

• Families actively seek out our trained au pairs
• You’ll have the skills and confidence employers want
• We teach you exactly how to present yourself professionally
• Our network includes families specifically looking for qualified caregivers

Follow our proven system, put in the effort, and you’ll have the best chance of landing a great position.

We help families and au pairs all across South Africa, with our main hubs in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban.

Since March 2020, we’ve moved to a fully online platform, and we’re staying that way because it works better for everyone.

You can access our courses, support, and job assistance from anywhere in the world ✅ making childcare training more convenient and affordable for everyone.

Online means:

• No travel costs or time wasted getting to offices
• Study at your own pace, on your own schedule
• Same quality training + support, just more accessible
• Connect with families nationwide, not just in your city

No. We are only online, therefore we do not schedule in-person meetings.

Once you complete your training, you’ll:

1. Get a downloadable certificate to add to your CV
2. Access our Global Job Portal to apply for jobs and connect with families
