The way we work

Every effort is made to match an applicant to a family. The needs of the family and the experience and personality of the applicant are taken into consideration. Our agency does its very best to present an applicant that will most likely fit with the host family's requirements and lifestyle. We do not waste your time presenting applicants who would not be suitable.

We do check their criminal records overseas through our partners Le programme de Fille Au pair en Australie and Au pair program in Canada, before accepting them. We provide them information to get the visa and they also go through an interview with the family before confirming the placement. Our agency has years of experience of placing top European, American, British and Canadian girls with good language skills, which means that we can offer you and your family access to the finest candidates.

We offer a comprehensive service and give continued support throughout the placement. We also offer an on-line course that we recommend them to undertake to ensure better knowledge and understanding of child minding.
