Live in Au Pairs and Nannies
for your family
Live-in Au Pairs
An Au Pair is a young, single person from overseas who wants to come to Australia to further their English and to live as part of a family to experience the Australian way of life.
Having a live-in Au Pair is an enriching and fulfilling experience that offers the benefits of cultural exchange and affordable childcare for your family and provides the Au Pair with experience caring for children and an opportunity to experience a new and exciting culture.
Au Pairs live with a host family and provide a combination of child care and light housework duties in exchange for a comfortable room in your house , board and pocket money.
In Australia, most Au Pairs are travelling on a 12 month visa, so placements usually last 6 months or more, allowing some time for the Au Pair to travel and experience Australia. They are interested in Australian culture and to discover life in Australia
All applicants are fully screened, reference checked and personally interviewed and selected to match your requirements and to ensure they are a good fit for your household. We follow a rigorous and professional recruitment process and make sure they have Working with Children Checks / Blue Cards, references and knowledge of First Aid / First aid certificate
All our Au Pairs have great English, are confident drivers for those who need a driver and have a love of children and family life.
