Each year, the Au Pair of the Year contest highlights the incredible individuals who leave lasting impacts on their host families and bring the magic of cultural exchange to life. Being a great au pair goes beyond providing childcare—it means sharing your language and traditions, while also embracing new experiences and putting yourself outside of your comfort zone.
This year, over 350 au pairs from more than 20 countries were nominated by their host families. These submissions described the countless ways au pairs have enriched their host families’ lives, from introducing new customs to helping kids thrive in their daily routines.
After careful review, we’re proud to announce our 2025 finalists, representing a wide variety of countries and cultures.
