Become an au pair: every host city
The au pair experience happens in a city: that is where you discover the everyday reality — transport, cost of living, language schools, and the neighbourhoods where expat families look for a young au pair. This directory lists, by host country, each major metropolis where AuPair Connect tracks and helps you reach a family: the city-specific visa or permit path, the pocket-money range, local life and the families recruiting.

How this directory works
The au pair experience happens in a city: that is where you discover the everyday reality — transport, cost of living, language schools, and the neighbourhoods where expat families look for a young au pair. This directory lists, by host country, each major metropolis where AuPair Connect tracks and helps you reach a family: the city-specific visa or permit path, the pocket-money range, local life and the families recruiting.
Each “Become an au pair in {city}” sheet is the reference page for that destination: the local administrative process, the authority issuing the permit, the country’s dated, sourced legal fact sheet, and links to host-family profiles. The site also covers precise corridors (home country → host country) that build on each city sheet.
