Member profiles

Who would you like to meet?

Member profiles will appear here once published.

Make it yours

A few filters to find people and plans that feel right.

Filter by city, area, gender, age, language, or hosting. Your date of birth, document, email, and exact address stay private.

The right reflex

Meet people and keep a few good safety habits.

✓Take time to review a profile and chat before making plans.

✓Consider a video call before meeting or staying together.

✓Share your exact address with another member privately, and only after you both agree.

✓Tell someone you trust about your itinerary.

01

Visible to signed-in members

An active profile may show a declared name, general area, languages, U.S. journey, age range, plans and bio.

02

Private by default

Your email, review result, and safety commitments stay private. The document is deleted after review or within 30 days of submission if still pending. Hostaupairs does not ask for a passport, visa, Social Security number, or bank details for this review.

03

For moderation only

Reports, blocks and visibility decisions stay protected in the database and do not appear on profiles.

An introduction, not a guarantee. Hostaupairs helps members take the first step; it does not verify identity or guarantee accommodation. Prefer a public place, video call and tell someone you trust.

Au pair in the U.S.?

Useful answers, with no grey areas.

See who Hostaupairs is for, what other members can see, and how to use its safety tools.

Who is Hostaupairs for and what does it do?

Hostaupairs is a community for au pairs aged 18 or older who live in or are preparing to arrive in the United States. Members can meet other au pairs, share activities and plan trips or stays together. Former au pairs can remain members.

Why must members be 18 or older?

Hostaupairs is for people aged 18 or older. The checkbox records your declaration; it does not verify your age or identity.

How does Hostaupairs review an au pair program?

Hostaupairs reviews a DS-2019 or a letter from a U.S. Department of State-designated sponsor to check your J-1 Au Pair program. This does not verify your civil identity or background. The file is deleted after a decision or, if the request is still pending, no later than 30 days after upload.

Official programme sources: BridgeUSA — Au Pair · DS-2019.

What can other members see on my profile?

Other signed-in members can see your active profile: profile photo if added, declared name, city and state, languages, age range, gender, bio, interests, and hosting details. Your email, date of birth, and uploaded document do not appear there. If you offer hosting, the map shows an approximate point, not your exact address.

What if someone makes me uncomfortable?

From your member account, you can report a profile, conversation, or message and block a profile. Before meeting, choose a public place and tell someone you trust.

Is Hostaupairs free and does it handle bookings?

Hostaupairs is free to use. The site supports requests and conversations, but does not confirm bookings or process payments. Members agree directly on the terms and any costs of their plans; no stay is guaranteed.
