We appreciate our host families’ business and reward our families who repeat with us on an annual basis (with no more than a six month hiatus).
There is never an application fee and the $500 match processing fee is waived for all repeat families.
In addition, should you and your au pair choose to stay together for a second year, your program fee is substantially reduced.
At Au Pair in America, satisfied customers are always rewarded for referring another family — and we have the highest referral bonus in the industry! Simply tell your friends about our program and ask them to give your name as the referring family when they apply. Not only will you receive a $500 credit* on your next contract, but your friend will also receive a $500 program fee discount.**
*Savings will be issued to your next contract when the referred family welcomes an au pair to their home.
**Valid for new families only who apply between August 10, 2024 and September 30, 2024.

Return Au Pairs
Au Pair in America initiated a request to change government regulations that previously restricted au pairs to a one-time cultural exchange option under the J-visa regulations. In July 2008 a new rule went into effect (62.31 (p) Repeat Participation) opening opportunity for former au pairs who meet the following criteria to apply as a “Return” au pair. Criteria for returning au pair is based on successful completion of her initial program, including her education component; is able to demonstrate she resided outside the U.S. for at least 2 years following completion of her initial program; is between 18 and 26 years of age; and is able to meet the other regulatory requirements of her application.
