All J-1 au-pairs must go through a designated exchange agency; host families typically pay USD 6,000–USD 14,000 total in agency/program fees (placement, screening, orientation, visa support, some travel/insurance). Some agencies bundle travel and education fees, so costs vary by program.
The U.S. Department of State sets a minimum weekly stipend (example: USD 195.75 minimum weekly baseline; programs/hosts often pay more). With board and lodging included, the host’s monthly cash cost is typically USD ~780–1,000+ (varies by program and voluntary top-ups).

At Nina.care, we take great care in selecting au pair candidates who truly fit your family. Our au pairs go through:
✨ A full interview to assess motivation and experience.
✨ English language test
✨ Medical and criminal record checks.
✨ Reference checks from previous host families.
We also save videos from au pair interviews, which you can watch in the au pair’s profile — giving you a clear impression of the candidate before even speaking with them.
