Why Self-Match?

At Giggles at Home, we use the self-match system: you choose the au pair that best fits your family, for example through platforms like AuPairWorld. You stay in control of the selection, while we fully support you throughout the entire process – from thorough screening and preparation to arrival. This way, you maintain control without the stress.

The Benefits of Self-Match:

01

Full Control and direct communication

YYou choose the au pair that best fits your family and have direct contact from the very beginning. This builds trust, prevents misunderstandings, and makes the match more personal.

02

Better and more sustainable match

By actively choosing, the au pair is a better fit for your children and family situation, leading to a more enjoyable and often longer-lasting collaboration.

03

Valuable Learning Experience for the Family

Selecting an au pair yourselves helps you clarify what is important in a match and how to maintain a successful collaboration.

04

Affordable

Self-matching saves costs, as you don’t pay the high agency fees typical of traditional au pair agencies.

05

Professional Support Where Needed

We make sure everything is handled properly – legally, practically, and culturally – so that your au pair arrives safe and well-prepared.

With self-match, you combine the freedom and autonomy of choosing yourself with the reassurance of professional guidance. This makes finding an au pair simple, safe, and an enjoyable experience for both the family and the au pair.
