Your childcare joint ops hero 

Host an au pair for your all-in-one childcare solution and save $1,500.

Why military families love hosting

Childcare that adapts to your life 

Set your own schedule with up to 45 hours of care per week . Your au pair lives with your family, understanding your unique routine even when your duty day extends unexpectedly.

Cost-effective solution 

One au pair provides consistent, reliable childcare that often costs less than traditional options — especially for families with two or more kids. 

Another driver when it matters most

No more missed formations because you're worried about pickup times or daycare closures. Your au pair can handle school runs and activities while you focus on the job. 

Cultural enrichment at home 

Your children gain exposure to new languages, cultures, and global perspectives—perfect for military kids who already understand diversity.

What families are saying

"Helena joined our family in May 2024 and instantly became an integral part of our lives.

Our family life is a busy one. Jay is a pilot with Delta Air Lines who flies multiple days at a time and Kristin is in the Navy, so we both have ever-changing schedules. Helena integrated quickly into our daily routine, managing morning preparation, child drop off and pickup from school and daycare, transportation to and from after-school activities and appointments, playtime, dinner, and bedtime routines."

Hosting an au pair as a military family

Jessica has provided stability and trusted care for the children during transitions and when their father is away, while also enriching the family with cultural exchange and traditions.
