Did you hear the news? Au Pair in America has been named the Best Overall Au Pair Agency in 2023 by Verywell Family, a trusted source for family and parenting information — for the third year in a row! This prestigious award recognizes the exceptional quality of service and support that Au Pair in America has provided to families (and au pairs!) for decades.  

According to Verywell Family, an online resource for pregnancy and parenting, “sometimes, the best way to receive a top-notch service is to go straight to the pioneers. In the case of au pair agencies, that means choosing Au Pair in America.” 

Verywell Family, a partner of the Cleveland Clinic, offers families an extensive library of parenting content written by hundreds of healthcare professionals and industry experts. The editors at Verywell Family “independently research, test, and recommend the best products” to determine their annual list of the best au pair agencies. 

Not to brag, but… 

… this is the third year in a row that we have been recognized by Verywell. Au Pair in America was also named the best au pair agency in 2021 and 2022.    

For the past three years, Verywell Family has praised Au Pair in America for our:  

• Extensive screening and training program 
• Established service with decades of placement experience 
• Competitive pricing 
• Large list of candidates 

“Au Pair in America has perfected the art of placing caregivers with families. Its experience can put your mind at ease,” Verywell Family states.  

As the nation’s first legal au pair program, Au Pair in America has provided more than 110,000 families with dependable live-in child care since 1986. After over three decades of service, we remain committed to the idea of cultural exchange that has made the au pair program so successful. 

What is an Au Pair Agency? 

Au pairs are typically young international visitors who travel to the United States on the BridgeUSA Program to acquire a better understanding and appreciation of American life while living with an American family and caring for their young children. 

In the United States, families interested in hosting an au pair need to work with an agency. The program is regulated by the Department of State, meaning au pairs travel to the United States on the Exchange Visitor cultural exchange visa. 

What Makes Au Pair in America the Best Agency in 2023? 

According to Verywell Family, “while each agency on this list has its own strengths and weaknesses, Au Pair in America comes out on top as the best overall. Au Pair in America’s screening and training processes set it apart from others on the list. Decades of experience providing exceptional service have led many families to trust this agency.”
