2018 au pair & host family matching and arrival calendar

Our partner, InterExchange Au Pair USA has released the 2018 au pair and host family matching/arrival calendar.
Please click the link and review next year’s arrival dates.

It is still August, but we have started working on the next year’s matching. So, you may want to start thinking about the next year as well. It is not too early.

If you have any questions on Japanese au pairs, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Japanese Male Au Pair is available

Have you considered a male au pair for your family?

There are not many male au pairs, BUT, I would say some host families are definitely in need of a male au pair. If you are one of them, we currently have a male au pair seeking a host family to be matched.

Atsushi is 25 years old and has been working as a social worker for few years and has experience with childcare as well. I met with him in Tokyo this summer, and he is a polite and kind person.

For information about the currently available Japanese au pairs, please click the following link.

Currently Available Japanese Au Pairs for USA

Male au pairs tend to be the dedicated and hard worker. In fact, several male au pairs had selected as the BEST AU PAIR in the past.
Most of the male au pairs have related academic and work experiences. Most of them are daily drivers, love to play sports, cheerful, and many of them like to cook.

If you are interested in hosting a male au pair, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Host families in New York area?

We have two Japanese au pairs who would like to be matched with a family in New York area.

The two au pairs are looking for families who live near New York City or easy access to the city with a public transportation.
Both au pairs speak English very well: one of them graduated from a university in Finland, and the other one has experienced 1 year of internship abroad in the United States before.

They are ready to arrive now.

So, if you are looking for an excellent au pair who speaks English well, have overseas experiences, and of course, good childcare experience, please contact us.

Our currently available au pairs are on the following page: 

Currently Available Au Pair page has been updated

Hi, everybody!

I am still in Japan, recruiting Japanese au pairs.
The currently available au pair page has been updated with new Japanese au pairs.

The available Japanese au pairs are ALL ready to arrive as early as this summer.  So, it is not too late for searching an au pair for summer arrival.

There are also several Japanese au pairs who are hoping to arrive by the end of this year or early next year. Of course, there will be more au pairs for spring 2018 arrival.

As usual, I am working very hard to send many Japanese au pairs.

Great meetings in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan

I am sorry that it took long time to write a new article. I am already in Japan and have passed mid point of my stay. I would say I have been extremely busy and time goes fast.

I am pleased to announce that my seminar in Tokyo and Osaka was VERY successful. I was able to meet with future au pairs in two locations. Several have already started and finished their au pair applications and now ready to match with host families. SO, if you are thinking about welcoming a Japanese au pair this year, please contact us.

Also, there are many Japanese au pairs who would like to become au pairs in the spring 2018. Few people already started their application process and trying to start early. Even though the next year’s applications cannot be published at this point, if you are planning to welcome an au pair early next year, please contact us.

Each year, I feel that the au pair program is getting popular in Japan. I have met many talented young Japanese nationals, and I am looking forward to introducing them to you soon!

Questions in Japan? Ask QuickQ

In North Dallas, school is now over and summer has begun. I am officially preparing for my trip to Japan.
If you have a Japanese au pair or interested in Japanese culture, you may also visit Japan regularly during the summer. If you have questions, but not sure who can answer use QuickQ.

You can ask any questions you mighty have in Japan, such as “which restaurant you would recommend in Shibuya?” ” my cell phone charger was broken, where I should go to buy one?” ” Which subway line I should use to get to Skytree from Roppongi?” etc.

Just like asking for your friend, QuickQ team will respond back to you in English.

How does it work?

Simply add QuickQ by using social media/messenger/Skype/LINE, and start asking questions.

A good thing is this service is free of charge. So, why don’t you give it a try?

For detailed information on how to use QuickQ, please access to the website and see “how it works” page.

Don’t worry, we have new au pair applications from Japan

If you are host families and looking for Japanese au pairs, you may be feeling that there are not enough Japanese candidates. If you feel that way, don’t worry. Au Pair Japanese Connection is working on new applications and hopefully, more profiles ready to match for you.

You may have felt that when you review au pair profiles, they have been already taken by other families. This is because host families can review multiple profiles at a time, and therefore, you may be able to review profiles, but cannot ask for an interview via the system.
Host families will select one au pair, and rest of them are released. So, you will then able to review their profiles and start talking with the au pairs.

In June, I will meet with prospective Japanese au pairs in Tokyo and Osaka, also several more cities in Japan. I would like to promote the au pair program and recruit Japanese nationals.

If you have questions about Japanese au pairs, please do not hesitate to contact us.

One more Au Pair Arrival date in August has been added

We are having a very busy matching season this year. When a new application becomes available, the profile is immediately viewed by a host family.
Japanese au pairs are constantly on-viewed by host families.

We are working hard to push new applications. If you would like to have a Japanese au pair but don’t see any available profiles, please feel free to contact us.

We had a great news from InterExchange that a new arrival date for au pairs has been added. There were originally three arrival dates in August, but now there are four. It means, au pairs will arrive almost every week.

I will organize two au pair seminars in Tokyo and Osaka in June. Hope I can recruit many Japanese au pairs.
