The idea

A companion for the year, not a feed for the day.

Inner Circle does three things, quietly and well.

01

A growth profile that knows you

A short, honest quiz reveals your au pair type, how you handle conflict, what trips you up, where you shine. Your profile evolves with you over the year.

02

Lessons for the conversations that matter

Short, warm lessons on saying what you mean, asking for a raise, setting limits with the kids, raising something that's been bothering you. Words you can borrow when yours run out.

03

A circle of au pairs who get it

Three trusted friends. A pod in your city. The wider community. Concentric rings of support, closer in for the hard stuff, wider out when you just need to feel less alone.

The seven types

Seven ways of being an au pair. Which one is yours?

None is better than the others. Each has a gift and a trap. Tap one to see a preview, or take the quiz to find your own.

Why this exists

A letter from the founder.

I built Inner Circle because the au pair year is one of the most identity-forming years of a young woman's life, and almost nobody is talking to her like a grown-up about it.

The forums are panicked. The agencies are administrative. Her friends back home don't quite get it. So she figures it out alone, often badly, and comes home a year later either changed for good or quietly relieved it's over.

It doesn't have to be that way. This is the patient, honest companion I wish she had.
