IAPA Au Pair of the Year Award 2016 is now open for nominations!

As the only global organisation designated to support businesses and people involved in the au pair industry, we proudly present our annual IAPA Au Pair of the Year Award.

Our Award provides au pairs the recognition and credit they deserve and at the same time enhances the public’s awareness of this cultural exchange programme and the mutual benefit au pairs and families get from it.

Additionally the Au Pair of the Year Award is a great opportunity to showcase your organisation and promote the quality of your au pair programme all over the world.

We call on our members to request their host families to nominate their extraordinary, exceptional au pair who deserves to win this Award.

The IAPA Au Pair of the Year Award is handed out at our annual Work Experience Travel Market and IAPA Annual Conference (WETM-IAC), taking place from 19 – 21 March, in Atlanta, USA.

We now invite all our members to participate in our Au Pair of the Year 2016 contest!
