Finding an Au Pair Just Got Easier: Introducing Mutual Match
Families can now connect more easily with motivated, ready-to-match au pairs through a new interactive matching experience.
Stamford, CT — January 20, 2026 — Choosing the right au pair is one of the most important decisions a host family can make. To help simplify and enhance that process, Au Pair in America is excited to introduce Mutual Match™, a new feature designed to make connecting with potential au pairs easier, faster, and more engaging than ever before.
Mutual Match™ creates a more interactive matching experience by allowing motivated, pre-screened au pairs to discover host family profiles and request to connect directly with families they’re genuinely interested in getting to know.
Previously, families have explored candidates through the Au Pair in America portal and recommendations from Placement Coordinators. With Mutual Match™, families now have an additional way to meet compatible candidates — by receiving requests from au pairs who have already taken the time to learn about their family and express interest in starting a conversation.
Families who opt into Mutual Match™ can:
- Become visible to motivated, pre-screened au pairs
- Start conversations with au pair candidates who have already expressed interest
- Stay fully in control of the process by deciding who they’d like to respond to
The new feature is designed to create a more personalized and engaging experience for both families and au pairs, helping foster stronger matches and smoother placements.
