Built in Australia, for au pairs and families.
Yoohoo is an Australian company that matches au pairs with verified local families. Everything happens in one place: the profiles, the chats, the video calls, the agreement and your weekly pay.
Your pay is protected by Yoohoo Protect: the family’s money is held safely before you arrive, and nothing ever comes out of your pocket money.
Every placement is protected.How Yoohoo Protect works
Asked often.
Is Yoohoo really free for au pairs?
Yes, completely. No joining fee, no matching fee, nothing ever comes out of your pocket money. Families pay Yoohoo a small weekly service fee, you never pay anything.
What do I actually get?
Your own room with an Australian family, meals included, and weekly pocket money paid straight to your account. You and your family agree the amount up front, most placements land around $250 to $350 a week, and every dollar of it is yours. Hours and duties go in a simple agreement you both sign in the app, so everyone knows exactly what was promised.
Do I need a visa before I start?
You apply for Australia's Working Holiday visa after you match. The 2-minute check tells you if your passport qualifies before you spend a cent or an hour on it, and the app walks you through every step after you match.
Is it safe?
Every family is verified, all your chats, calls and payments stay inside Yoohoo, and your pay is protected from day one. Read exactly how it works on the Yoohoo Protect page. How Yoohoo Protect works →
What if the family isn't right for me?
You can leave a placement, and if you ever feel unsafe you can leave immediately, no notice needed. Your profile and your reviews stay with you for the next family.
