The popular website www.au-pair-agenturen.de has been re-launched. Its fresh new design and overhauled navigation menu make it easy to find all necessary information on au pair placement. The site provides au pairs and guest families with a list of German au pair agencies. Filtering the results by certain criteria, they can directly find the best au pair placement office for their needs. Calypso Verlag has now modernized and expanded the au pair portal that was originally launched in 2000.

At present, the database contains 250 au pair placement offices, including all large au pair agencies, displayed and sorted by postal code, location, federal state within Germany, membership in associations, etc. The website www.au-pair-agenturen.de also features comprehensive information for guest parents as well as for German and foreign au pairs. If you’re looking for information about a stay abroad, you will find everything you need to know about issues such as requirements, rights and obligations, costs, countries of origin and target countries, insurance, placement, literature as well as organizations and associations. Since the au pair program for young Germans has become very popular in recent years, the website’s outgoing area has been considerably expanded.

The website www.au-pair-agenturen.de was launched more than 10 years ago by Dr. Walter because many clients had been asking for recommended au pair placement offices. With the launch of the website, German au pair agencies were given the opportunity to register for free and present themselves on this leading au pair portal.

Since it became ever more time-consuming to administer and manage the website, the insurance broker decided to hand over the re-launch of www.au-pair-agenturen.de to the publisher Calypso Verlag. “It is a great opportunity for us as a publisher to add the popular web portal www.au-pair-agenturen.de to our portfolio of au pair literature”, says Managing Director Cordula Walter-Bolhöfer. In addition, the website serves as a reliable tool for the annual business survey in German au pair placement. This regularly published study remains the only source for political parties and associations about the numbers of au pairs in Germany and worldwide.
