Additional Au Pair Training Courses
In addition to our Academy program, AuPairCare offers advanced online training for au pairs based on the unique needs of our host families. These Advanced and Specialized Training courses are designed to assist and train au pairs on topics important to diverse families.
Advanced Trainings
AuPairCare offers Advanced Online Training courses covering a variety of topics like food and nutrition, positive discipline, at-home education, and screen-free play.
Courses are specially designed for au pairs. Host families can purchase these additional trainings for their au pair when they finalize their match. Host families are also able to add courses at any point in the year via the AuPairCare portal.
Au pairs who are interviewing with host families can purchase courses for themselves. This is a great way to prepare for the program and highlight new skills on a matching profile.
