IAPO - Become an Au Pair in UK: Why Us?

Au Pair in the UK

IAPO-International Au Pair Organisation

IAPO is a voluntary non-profit-making international organisation which organises au pair placements through its international partners worldwide. We aim to improve international understanding by promoting au pair programs and solve child-care problems for families by finding the right au pair for them.

IAPO provides a unique service and works in a different way to most other companies and organisations, as our au pairs are carefully selected and placed with carefully screened families. We do not accept any family or au pair application without interview. This allows us to find the right au pairs for the right families, as we interview and check the applications of both the families and au pairs.

Background:

In 1986 the International Cultural Exchange Programs (ICEP) was launched as a non-profit-making organisation and started to send au pairs to England and then to the USA in 1991.

As a division of ICEP, IAPO carries out au pair placements in the UK. From 1996 till early 2004, IAPO placed more than 2,200 au pairs with British host families at no cost. Having experience of placing au pairs in the USA and UK, IAPO has now signed exclusive agreements with some of the US Au Pair organisations authorised by the US goverment.

IAPO now has eighteen years of experience and is becoming the largest and most successful au pair exchange program in the world. IAPO places 1,000 au pairs every year in the UK and plans to send 300 au pairs to America from Europe.
