What is Aupairtrip ?
Aupairtrip is a community-based app, designed specifically for au pairs.
Our goal ? Make the au pair experience smooth, happy, and stress-free for everyone involved.

- For the familyhelp your au pair find balance, and get the best childcare !
- For the agencyFewer rematch situations, better service !
Because a well-supported au pair provides better childcare !
The au pair program is awesome. But being/having a struggling au pair can turn the placement into a nightmare. Even confident and independent au pairs will experience loneliness or homesickness, isolation, and will have trouble finding a balance.
When isolation builds up, it impacts :
Motivation
Which reduces involvement and enthusiasm with children, and leads to lower quality childcare.
Communication
Unspoken frustrations will create misunderstandings and tension within the household.
Overall integration
Difficult adaptation will impact harmony and overall atmosphere at home.
Placement stability
Emotional imbalance will lead to rematch situations, stressful for children and expensive for families.
At Aupairtrip, we believe no one should feel alone through their journey. We're here to make every au pair experience smoother, happier, and more connected.
The key to success in a match?
Finding balance.
Your solution ? Aupairtrip makes au pairs happier and safer.
Problem solved.

Our story
Aupairtrip started in Chicago, IL, when I was still an au pair and launched the Instagram account @aupairtrip. What began as a meme-based page quickly grew into a strong community, connecting girls in real life.
Messages kept coming in, girls looking for friends, support, and travel companions during their year abroad.
Later, Alexis joined the adventure, and together we turned this growing community into a dedicated platform.
Today, Aupairtrip is more than an app : a global community, a travel companion, and a trusted resource for au pairs and host families.
Our mission remains the same : help young people abroad feel less alone, better prepared, and truly supported, wherever they are in the world.
Make the most of your au pair experience.
Meet au pairs nearby, find travel buddies and create memories you'll never forget.
