Au Pair Program Payment Options
Au Pair International offers flexible payment options to make hosting an au pair easier for your family. Choose the approach that works best for you—either a simplified upfront payment or a convenient 10-month installment plan. Detailed information for each option is provided below.
For host families who prefer to pay their program fee upfront, this option allows you to secure your au pair match with a down payment at the time of match and pay the remaining balance 30 days prior to your au pair’s arrival. Paying in full provides a simple, streamlined approach and helps lock in your program fee.
| Fee | Amount | Due |
| Application Fee | $350 | At time of application |
| Initial Payment | $3,500 | Due at time of match |
| Remaining Program Fee | Balance (Program Fee) | 30 days prior to arrival |
For families who prefer more flexibility, our 10-month payment plan allows you to spread your program fee over 10 installments. This option makes budgeting easier while still securing your au pair match and maintaining access to all program benefits.

| Application Fee | $350 | At time of application |
| Initial Payment | $3,500 | Due at time of match |
