Registering as an au pair means entering information that is informative for families:
- your details such as nationality and languages that you speak
- your preference for the type of au pair work you would like
- all child care work experience.

The more the family or au pair know about you, the better chance you have of getting a suitable match, so please complete all details when filling out the registration form in particular the About Me and Additional Information about the Family and Message to Family and Au Pair sections.
Because many families and au pairs will only contact profiles that have photos, make sure to include a photo to improve your profile.
After registration your profile can be viewed on Kangaroo Au Paiy, simply log back in to amend your profile at anytime.
