File No. 0114 — Opened 2012
ChengetoAupair places rigorously vetted au pairs with discerning host families — built on background checks, training, and references that hold up to scrutiny.
First, The Basics
A young adult who lives with your family as part of a cultural exchange — caring for your children and joining your daily life, in return for a home, meals, and fair pocket money.
In short: an au pair is family, not staff. The exchange is the point — your children gain a companion and a second language, your au pair gains a second home and a new country, and ChengetoAupair handles the vetting, visas, and support that make it work for both sides.
Where You Could Go
We place candidates with host families across the EU — each destination with its own culture, language, and rhythm of family life.
Age limits, hours, pocket money, and visa requirements vary by country — see the full comparison in our FAQ.
Our Standard
Every au pair placed by ChengetoAupair has passed through extensive background checks, structured interviews, and a mentorship program that continues well after placement day.
References are followed up and authenticated in full — because we understand the weight of inviting someone new into a family's daily life.
How It Proceeds
We learn your household — routines, ages, language needs, temperament — before a single candidate is proposed.
Candidates undergo background screening, structured interviews, and reference authentication ahead of any introduction.
You meet a shortlist matched on substance, not availability — and choose on your own terms, in your own time.
Placement is the beginning. Our team stays close, supporting both family and au pair through the relationship's first year.
