If you are a busy parent and would like to receive 3 great, matching, and responsive candidates, the matching service is for you. No stress, we do all the work for you. We reserve a pool of the best candidates for our Matching Service host families.

With the membership (self-match), you can find your au pair on your own. You can chat with unlimited candidates, except those reserved for Premium users.

• Self-match: Yes, you can cancel your membership at any time. 
It will remain active until the end of the current billing period, and you will continue to have access to your profile and chats until then.
• The Matching Service can also be canceled if you no longer need assistance for any reason, but it’s a success: We commit to finding your au pair and will share several rounds of candidates until we do.
• The Aftercare Package remains active for the full duration of your au pair’s stay with your family.

In Norway, health insurance is generally the responsibility of the host family. The host family must ensure that the au pair is adequately insured during the stay in Norway.

Depending on the au pair’s nationality and duration of stay, the au pair may also become covered by the Norwegian National Insurance Scheme after registration. Additional private insurance is often recommended for the initial arrival period and for extra coverage.

Monthly basic expenses include

1. Au pair’s pocket money: +- NOK 7000 p/m
2. Food and accommodation: provided by the host

As the au pair does not receive a high pocket money, it’s kind to help a bit with a small extra. 
This is optional, but it can help to find a great match as well

• Travel allowance: NOK 725 p/m
• Phone plan: NOK 400 p/m
• Gym membership: NOK 430 p/m
• Museum card or cinema card: NOK 325 p/m

Or other benefits to help your au pair feel more comfortable and welcome during their stay.”

The aftercare, contract, and visa support package at €68 per month is priced the same as the self-match Membership; it’s recommended to keep it running throughout your au pair term to avoid stress and to allow your au pair access to the au pair community and support.

It’s optional, but Nina.care is an au pair Agency, meaning we cover not just the search for your au pair, but we are there for you during rematch, registration, visa, and contract questions.

Arrange your au pair without missing anything, and continue the € 68-per-month membership for the term.

In Norway, the host family is generally responsible for covering the au pair’s arrival and return travel costs.

This includes the flight ticket to Norway at the start of the stay and the return ticket to the au pair’s home country at the end of the placement.

Some host families may additionally support extra travel-related expenses, depending on the agreement made with the au pair before arrival.

The pocket money is paid directly by the host family to the au pair.

Once the au pair arrives in the host country, it is important that they open a local bank account so the monthly payments can be transferred easily. For candidates from the EU, it is often not necessary to open a local bank account.

There is always a small risk that a match does not work out as expected. To reduce this risk, our after-care package includes an alignment meeting between the host family and the au pair before the placement begins. During this meeting, important topics such as the start date, pocket money, vacation days, weekly schedule, and expectations are discussed to make sure everyone is on the same page.

If the match still does not work out, there is a 2–4-week transition period during which both the host family and the au pair can look for a new match or decide on next steps.

When Premium Matching Service families have an active “Aftercare package” at the time of rematch, we will find them a new candidate at no extra cost.
