Au pairs using Aupairtrip

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.

Au pair feeling alone

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

Our story

Céline

Co-founder and CEO

Former french au pair in Chicago, IL, USA

Alexis

Co-founder and COO

Former foreign exchange student in Mound, MN, USA

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.
