What is The Au Pair Dream Journal?
The Au Pair Dream Journal is a comprehensive planner/journal designed specifically for au pairs to help them document their experiences, set goals, manage their schedules, and prioritize their mental health during their year abroad.
How can I become an Au Pair?
Becoming an au pair typically involves a few steps, but keep in mind I'm not an agency. You have to find one near you to start the process, Here are the general steps:
1. Research Requirements: Look into the specific requirements of the country or countries where you want to work as an au pair. These may include age limits, language proficiency, and educational background.
2. Find an Agency or Platform: Many au pairs use agencies or online platforms that specialize in matching au pairs with host families. These agencies can help with placements, visas, and legal requirements. Research well online, because there are a lot of scams.
3. Prepare Your Documents: You'll need a valid passport, a visa depending on the country, and possibly a background check or health certificate.
Remember, specific requirements and processes can vary widely depending on the country and agency you choose. It's important to do thorough research and possibly seek advice from an au pair agency or someone experienced in international childcare placements.
What makes The Au Pair Dream Journal unique?
Our journal combines practical planning tools with therapeutic prompts, travel planning sections, and spaces for reflection and gratitude, making it an all-in-one resource for au pairs.
Is there a digital version of the Au Pair Dream Journal available?
Currently, we do not offer a digital version, but it is something we are considering for the future based on customer interest.

At the moment, we only ship within the U.S. However, we are looking into expanding to international shipping as we assess demand from other countries. Stay tuned for updates!
