Matching Process

How does it work?

The goal is to bring together senior aupairs and host families who are truly a good match. To do this, you’ll create a profile outlining your expectations, preferences, and requirements. I’ll then start looking and suggest suitable matches. After that, you can get to know each other and decide whether you’d like to take the next step, all at your own pace and, if you’d like, with my personal support.

Here's what happens next

After you’ve got to know each other, I’ll assist you (if you like) with all organizational matters, such as contracts, insurance, entry formalities, and tourist services. If you’d like, I’ll also remain available as your point of contact during the stay and ensure that everything goes smoothly.

Something amazing is taking shape! The “Generationsmatch” matching portal for senior aupairs and host families is still under development. Soon, there will be news to discover here.
