- Create and edit your profile
- View suggestions for potential au pairs

When do we need Premium?
You'll need a Premium Membership when you want to send a contact request to an au pair yourself.
You can start using AuPairWorld for free to create your profile and discover potential au pairs.
You'll need an active Premium Membership if you want to:
- Send contact requests to au pairs
- Access your chats and exchange messages
- Arrange video calls
- Propose agreements
- View au pair profile videos
This means you can explore AuPairWorld first and decide to purchase Premium when you're ready to start connecting with au pairs.
Can we accept contact requests from au pairs without Premium?
Yes. You can receive and accept contact requests from au pairs even without an active Premium Membership.
If an au pair is interested in your family and sends you a contact request, you can accept it without Premium.
However, you'll need an active Premium Membership to access the chat and continue with the next steps of the placement process.
Do au pairs need a Premium Membership?
No. Au pairs can use AuPairWorld free of charge.
Premium Memberships are exclusively for host families. Au pairs don't need a Premium Membership to use AuPairWorld's placement features.
What happens when our Premium Membership expires?
When your Premium Membership expires, your host family profile will remain active. However, you'll lose access to Premium features.
Even after your Premium Membership expires, you can still:
- Continue using your profile
- Receive and accept contact requests from au pairs
However, without an active Premium Membership, you can no longer:
- Send new contact requests to au pairs
- Access your chats
- Continue with the next steps of the placement process
- View au pair profile videos
If you've already found an au pair and completed the placement process, you'll still be able to access your au pair stay overview after your Premium Membership expires. You'll also continue to have access to any contact details that have already been shared with you.
