The Ideal Host

Our ideal hosts are people who want to see international students thrive in different environments. We are looking for supportive, compassionate, open individuals who are willing to share their home and culture and learn from others. Our hosts are an extension of the HomestayMatch.com team and are essentially the face of the company. HomestayMatch.com wants you to feel apart of the team; we make every effort to support you through the entire hosting process. From applying to saying goodbye to your students. So what are you waiting for? Join the team of people who help us do what we do.

  • Denise C.

    "I’ve hosted for 20 years now, and I have been a host with HomestayMatch Team for over 12 years now – the staff is great. It makes you feel good about the opportunities you provide for an international student to experience living in the US. Hosting also gives me the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people. It's good to stay connected with other cultures and thoughts and YOUNG people. You get to see a new perspective of your own environment as they discover the area where you live."

  • Susan F.

    "I’ve been working with HomestayMatch Team for about 1 1/2 years now. For my first hosting experience I accepted three young men from Paris who were a true delight. After that, I accepted a Chinese student who has been an absolute joy too. I’m up on what’s happening with the arts in the City and really enjoy sharing information. I like to see people have positive experiences here in the US. The HomestayMatch staff have all been wonderful to work with. For all the reasons above, I highly recommend that other hosts sign up."
