How AuPairly works
A clear path from signup to a successful match — for hosts and sitters across four care categories.
Step 1
1. Choose your role & services
Sign up as a host (need care) or sitter (offer care). Pick childcare, caregiving, house sitting, pet sitting — or combine them in a 2-minute setup.
Step 2
2. Complete & verify your profile
Add a clear photo, bio, and city. Complete ID + selfie verification for a Verified badge. Reach ~70% completeness to unlock Discover and boosts.
Step 3
3. Browse or Discover
Filter the marketplace by category and location, or swipe in Discover with service filters and match scores.
Step 4
4. Message, shortlist, place
Express interest, chat in-app, shortlist favourites, and move serious matches into placements. Free tier applies; upgrade when you hit limits.
Step 5
5. Upgrade when you're serious
Plus and Premium (Paystack) unlock unlimited messages, interests, Discover swipes, and featured visibility — one clear upgrade path.
