Q: If we have hosted an au pair before, do we get a discount?

A: Yes, EurAupair values the support of those returning families who have successfully hosted a EurAupair au pair for a year or more. Through their participation in the EurAupair Au Pair Program, our repeat families are working with EurAupair to contribute to improve intercultural understanding. EurAupair recognizes the commitment of these families to the EurAupair Au Pair Program, and offers them a $500 reduction in program fees. The same discount is also available to families who have hosted au pairs successfully with other U.S. Government designated au pair programs.

Q: Do we have to pay all fees upfront?

A: : No, if you would like to spread the payment of your Program Fee over an extended period, EurAupair offers an easy Payment Plan. Please refer to the Fees & Costs page for details on the Payment Plan.
