Association), in order to protect the rights of the au pairs and host families and offer a high quality service.
Most of our Au pairs come from our partner organizations that we have in different countries, but some decide to apply directly through our web site, mainly when they do not find an agency in their country.
We offer our au pairs and host families, a modern, quick, safe and easy AU PAIR IN SPAIN web-based platform with the following benefits:
