Simplify life through flexible, affordable childcare.
About Us
Who we are.
At Aurora, we are passionate about creating the ultimate win-win-win scenario: helping parents find affordable childcare, offering young people an authentic and budget-friendly way to live abroad, and providing children with a dedicated, caring presence at home to support their growth and well-being.
We’ve seen firsthand the incredible benefits—au pairs gaining confidence, independence, and valuable life experience while forming lasting bonds with their host families; parents enjoying a smoother routine, more time for relationships, and quality moments with their children; and kids thriving with consistent care, increased language exposure, and meaningful learning experiences.
With over 50 years of collective experience in au pair matching, international recruitment, cultural exchange programs, and travel coordination, our team brings expertise and dedication to every placement. We are committed to the success and development of children and youth, with a mission to bring balance and harmony to busy families.
We understand that welcoming a live-in au pair is a significant change, and it’s important to get it right. Our dedicated team is here to answer your questions, learn about your family's unique routine and needs, and show you how an au pair can provide the right support.
