Important scam warning for Au Pairs and Families:

For your own safety, please keep in mind our Scam Warnings:

Do never advance money to people you do not know!

• Be cautious if someone asks you for money.
• Do never transfer any money via Western Union or MoneyGram to so called Travel Agencies or lawyers!
• Do never advance money e. g. for travel costs, flight tickets, etc. The au pair must be able to pay the travel costs on her/his own. If you like to, you might refund some costs later if the au pair is with you and has worked for you already, but NEVER IN ADVANCE!

Be cautious if the offer of the family or the au pair is too good to be true !

• Please inform yourself about the regular pocket money which is paid in the land of the host family
• If for exemple a family offers you more than the salary average in that country or a monthly salary PLUS weekly pocket money, etc., then please be cautious. There is something wrong here!

Please do not set up a bank account for someone you don´t know !

Please be suspicious if you are contacted through Facebook or other social networks!

Many users (especially au pairs) have informed us that they were contacted by "host families" through Facebook. Those families pretended that they had the contact data from our website. In most of the cases however, the so called host families were scammer, so please be cautious. 

Last update: We have been informed by several au pairs that emails sent from the email address pennywrightson@yahoo.com from a so called family "Penny Wrightson" are a scam.
