A new alternative for the world of travelers and Aupair.
Not Only Aupairs was born with the objective of focusing this experience towards a more valuable, safe and independent vision for both the host and the traveler.
The aupair world
This concept was born at the end of the 18th century in Central Europe as a way to improve the socio cultural experience of young women, through a mutually beneficial relationship with a foreign family.
In this way, the Aupairs were welcomed by hosts from another country, who offered accommodation and food, in exchange for them teaching their native language at home, as well as taking care of certain tasks such as taking care of the children.

The current problem
However, the demands of today’s world make maintaining this type of relationship increasingly complicated. Not only because it is not easy to have enough space to live with one more person in our home, but also because of the lack of time and, of course, privacy.
For both the guest and the host, schedules, freedoms and responsibilities have become red lines that cannot be overcome. . Unfortunately this is not always the case, and there are numerous cases of abuse in both directions, which turn something that should be positive into a real disorder.
We are talking, of course, about obligations and rights, both at economic levels and responsibilities, schedules or type of accommodation. Such basic aspects in daily life that we should not give up.
The not only aupairs model
That is why this platform was born, because a good Aupair experience or traveler/host exchange can be a source of great benefits if they adhere to the needs and characteristics of each profile. Especially if we can also combine it with freedom and independence.
Our model relies on people as the main engine for success and we open a huge range of possibilities to design the perfect proposal that we are looking for, whether we are travelers or hosts.
But not only enhancing the language, but also all the values, both professional and personal, that we can nourish ourselves with.
Why was not only aupairs born?
I am a mother, and I have always strived to ensure that my daughter’s education was the best possible . It was clear to me that having a native person at home would mean the leap in quality that I was looking for so that they could speak their second and third languages perfectly.
However, it is not comfortable to share our life with someone we do not know, thus giving up the most valuable thing we have at home, such as intimacy and time.
But not only for my family, but also for the traveler who leaves their country and needs their own space to manage an adventure as exciting as this one can be.
We are talking about mutual collaboration, not an employment contract that forces a person to do things for which they are not qualified, will not be remunerated or do not feel comfortable.
Because let’s not forget, we talk about people at all times, both our family and travelers, and their well-being must be, at all times, our priority.
This was the reason for the beginning of the platform, because everyone should enjoy an experience as beautiful as this, since, after all, what would the world be without cultural exchange?
