Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Finding an au pair or a host family abroad has remained stuck in the early 2000s: clunky, legacy web-only portals, opaque subscription traps, ghost profiles, and zero identity verification. Families spend thousands on agencies, while young au pairs navigate outdated listings with little safety support. We built AuPair Connect to bring cultural childcare exchange into the mobile era—transparent, direct, and safe. Why AuPair Connect? Trust & Safety First: Integrated biometric ID verification, background-check badges, and dedicated safety tools (instant reporting, blocking, and data control). Mobile-First & Real-Time: Browse rich profiles with video introductions, chat via built-in secure instant messaging, and conduct seamless video interviews without sharing personal phone numbers upfront. Fair & Transparent Pricing: No expensive middleman agency lock-ins or hidden recurring fees. Direct self-service matching that respects both host families and au pairs. Worldwide Cultural Matching: Tailored filters for languages, schedules, childcare preferences, and locations across Europe, the Americas, and beyond. Key Features Verified Profiles: Clear badges for identity-checked candidates and host families. In-App Video & Chat: End-to-end communication from initial discovery to final match. Administrative Clarity: Built-in guidance for pocket money, house rules, and cultural exchange agreements to set clear expectations before arrival. We’re bootstrapping this with a laser focus on user safety and community trust. We would love to hear your thoughts, feedback on the onboarding experience, and ideas on how we can make international au pair matching even safer and more accessible!
