If you live in Saint-Martin or Saint-Barthélemy and are considering hosting an au pair, we would be delighted to meet you! We offer candidates with one to two years of experience as an au pair in the United States, as well as Canadian and American au pairs with experience in childcare.
For families located in mainland France, Guadeloupe or Martinique, do not hesitate to contact us to discover the possibilities of hosting an au pair in your region.
The au pair program is above all an opportunity for cultural exchange. The way you interact with your au pair will play a crucial role in their learning and perception of French culture.
By becoming a host family, you will have the unique opportunity to explore the richness of a different culture while sharing the unique aspects of French culture and language.

Your au pair's flights are your responsibility.
During the placement, you must pay a minimum of €120 per week to your au pair.
