Busy parents need FLEXIBLE AND AFFORDABLE childcare. An au pair is a cost effective extra pair of hands in a busy family, helping with morning rush, school-run, after school care, driving the children to-from clubs, sports and play-dates, homework help, meal preparation and even bedtime and bath time for younger children. An au pair is a popular choice for families with 2 working parents or parent(s) working shifts. With an au pair you have extra help and not just 9-5. Our agency makes it easy for families the find the right person. We organise vetting, preparation and support. We place au pairs in English speaking families in the UK and Australia. Many families return to us every year and recommend their friends to the au pair program.
