Information for Families

Au Pair House assist families by removing the risk and the insecurity of finding an appropriate Au Pair. We are actual people, and not just a web based service with no one to answer your questions. We provide that personal service that is so important. The benefits of hosting one of our Au Pairs are many:

  • Children can be cared for in their own environment.
  • Care can be centred and designed around the children’s needs, instead of modifying sleeping, changing and play times to suit only your availability.
  • Care is more flexible. For instance, many families find that around the "rush" hour of getting dressed and having breakfast or dinner and bath is when they could most use an extra pair of hands.
  • It is very cost effective and can be used by families with children of all ages.
  • Hosting an overseas Au Pair provides a unique opportunity for your children to learn facets of another language and culture, which can be immensely rewarding.

Even if our Au Pairs are experienced or qualified child minders or cleaners, the end responsibility for any children regardless of age or house safety, will always remain with the parents. However, our Au Pairs will always be eager to follow family rules as well as observe the family members and how they manage the household. We do check for criminal records overseas, along with visa and passport details before accepting them as possible candidates. Our Au Pairs also go through a strict interview process and the answers go into their profile that the family can see before confirming the placement.

“We work a lot, and the extra help at home is wonderful. We have much more free time now to spend on what we like doing. Having the program designed specially for our family, our life became easier. It’s amazing the difference it makes when all the little things are done!”
