WHY SMART AU PAIRS?

Our trusted au pair agency started in Britain, where many families already benefit from hosting an au pair. Our extensive knowledge of ‘what works best’ now gives Australian families the opportunity to enjoy cultural childcare with our support and guidance.

Every candidate can benefit from our 3 day orientation program on arrival, so that you can welcome a rested and prepared au pair or nanny. We offer orientation in Sydney. Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.

Although we place mostly German Au Pairs, we also have au pairs from the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, France, Italy and also native English speaking au pairs from USA, Canada and Britain. We place all over Australia and throughout the year from our Sydney Office.
