My experience as an Au Pair has been incredibly rewarding and enriching. I've had the chance to live with two wonderful host families who have introduced me to the heart of French culture—from delicious home-cooked meals to charming local expressions. Being immersed in everyday French life has given me a deeper appreciation for the country and its traditions. As an Australian, having the opportunity to live and travel in Europe is something truly special, and I’m so grateful for the chance to grow, learn, and connect in such a meaningful way.

My experience with Au Pair BUTRFLY has been amazing. They guises me every step of the way and made sure all my need a where met. This was my first time as an au pair and with all of the legal matters, they made sure it was easy for me. If i had to choose again an agency to go through this experience, it would be Au Pair BUTRFLY 110 times again.

My au pair experience through Butrfly was exceptionally positive. The matching process felt tailored, reflecting a genuine effort to align my preferences with the family's needs. Butrfly.com's team provided unwavering support, offering clear guidance on visa requirements and cultural nuances, which proved invaluable. Throughout my placement, they maintained consistent communication, ensuring both my host family and I were comfortable and thriving. The family I was matched with was incredibly welcoming, creating a warm and inclusive environment. Professionalism and dedication to facilitating successful au pair experiences are evident in every aspect of their service. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a rewarding and well-supported au pair journey.

Au Pair BUTRFLY provided me an incredible experience abroad! They helped me achieve my idea of becoming au pair throughout the whole process. I was specially matched with a wonderful family by the BUTRFLY team. The visa process was completely stress free. And throughout my stay the team stayed in touch to make sure I was comfortable and safe! I am so happy with my choice to go through the BUTRFLY agency, and I am looking forward to using them again in the future.

EXPERTS IN

The Au Pair Program

The au pair exchange program allows 18-30 year olds to live with a family.

In exchange of thirty hours of childcare (depending on the country), the au pairs are housed, fed and paid. They become part of the household’s daily life, supporting the parents.

In their free time, the young au pairs study, learn a language or work on their professional projects

A cultural and linguistic exchange

The advantages of being an au pair family

For a host family, to hire an au pair is the solution to finding a balance between your career and your family life. This type of child care provides you with daily support. The au pair is a reference for your children, like a big sister or brother. It is easier for you to manage your environment when the au pair lives in your home.

The advantages of being a young au pair

Living as an au pair in France or internationally is the most economical way to experience an immersive trip: you are fed, housed and paid! It’s a way for you to be a student and live abroad without financial risk. It will look great on your CV, allowing you to gain experience with children, learn a foreign language and discover another culture. Being hosted by a family provides you with comfort and safety. You will make rapid progress, while creating strong bonds.

OUR AU PAIR AGENCY VISION

At Au Pair BUTRFLY, we live the au pair program every day

Our team is made up of experts in the field of au pairing and living abroad. Butrfly is composed of French host families, former au pairs or former French expats who have left for the four corners of the globe.

Thanks to our experience, we know how to best accompany you in your project to host an au pair (male or female), or to go abroad. We understand your needs and take the time to answer all your questions.

An au pair stay is a unique and incredible experience for both host families and young people, based on trust and cultural exchange. After all the meaning of ‘au pair’ is ‘on equal terms’, so it is a two-way exchange.

« Au pair » means « on equal terms »

so it is a reciprocal exchange.

We think that a successful au pair experience is based on our key principles : sharing, caring, communication and openness.
