Au Pair of the Year Award

We established the Au Pair of the Year Award as a way to recognise and honour the most extraordinary, exceptional and deserving au pairs as nominated by their host families.

The award is also a wonderful way for our members to showcase their organisations, promoting the high quality of their au pair programs and highlighting to the public the rewarding and mutually beneficial experience of this cultural exchange program.

IAPA Workshops Worldwide

We organise local get togethers and workshops every year for members and non-members to discuss the current situation and regulations for au pair programmes in their country so that we can continue to support the industry.

IAPA Webinars

Our most recent member benefits include the introduction of free webinars to be held throughout the year.
We offered the first IAPA webinar “Is your business ready for GDPR? What do Au Pair Organisations need to do to be compliant?” to our members in May 2018.
