Solution Au Pair’s services
Solution Au Pair is a team of professionals who will help you to find an au pair host family in France. Our team has first hand experience of being or hosting an au pair, so we understand your needs and aspirations. We ensure that your application file meets the necessary criteria and that your host family meets your expectations.
During your stay, we remain at your disposal for any assistance you may need (with language courses, transportation, etc.)
We provide you with an information booklet on your arrival. We organise monthly meetings, and give you a list of other au pairs provided by our network in the north of France. We keep in touch with you during your stay and, acting as a personal advisor, help you make a success of your new living arrangements.

Placement times
We receive candidates all year long. Generally speaking, the longer you plan to stay, and the more experience you have, the better chance you will have to find a host family quickly.
Remember that a good application file always makes a good impression on families.

School year
Most French families look for au pairs during the school year. If you are looking for a host family for this period, please send your application between April and June. However, if we receive your application between June and August and if you are available, we will do our best to find you a host family as quickly as possible.

Civil year
Many families are also looking for au pairs who are available from January and who will stay for the summer holidays, and even longer. If you are looking for a host family for this period, please send your application between October and December.

Summer holiday period
We also accept applications for the summer holidays. Owing to the large number of applications we receive for this period, we ask you to be patient, flexible and available at short notice. If you send us an application for the holiday period, it will be easier to find a host family if you are available between end May/mid June and the beginning of September.
