Registration process explained in more detail:
Please register online, follow the instructions on each page and don’t worry, if you are unsure about some things, we go through them together.
As soon as your online registration is complete, we contact you to arrange a telephone consultation to discuss your requirements of what you want from an au pair and answer any questions. We can activate your search after consultation and payment of activation deposit, all in one call.
After the telephone consultation we activate your file and your shortlisted candidates will be viewable online for you. You contact your preferred candidate for an interview; we send you suggested interview questions to make it easy. Many families make use of a webcam for the interview, it is really handy!
All candidates will have been briefed and interviewed by the agency in their country and will be presented to you with informative and complete profiles containing;
• Registration form and letter from the au pair
• Pictures from the au pair
• References, checked by the local agency
• Medical certificate and police check.
You can invite your preferred candidate to be your au pair and if she accepts, we follow up with a template for the agreement for you to confirm the placement.
At this stage our fee becomes payable and then your au pair can book her flight to Australia. Your au pair pays for her own flight to Australia, gap year travel insurance and Working Holiday Visa. There is no need for complicated visa sponsorships!
We continue our service with relevant information at key points in the process, such as just before and just after the arrival of the au pair. We give you and your au pair smart information and preparation material exactly when you need it.
Your au pair travels and joins your family. Your au pair will pay the flight to Australia (nearest international airport) and you collect her from the airport. Depending on your location, the host family may need to pay for connecting flights to your local airport, either from nearest international airport or from orientation in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth or Brisbane.
Give her time to rest and settle and explain all about your family with the use of our training material and your family handbook, prepared from our handy template.
Naturally, if you prefer, you may contact our au-pair agency at any time!
