In the au pair industry, it is all about connections. An au pair might not be the right fit for one family, but could be a perfect match for you! Similarly, as an agency, our focus is on forging connections and collaborating with you. Our aim is to make the process as easy as can be.

Jackie
Program Director
I am passionate about family life, children and health and in particular womens’ health, so many mums are running ourselves into the ground whilst trying to juggle family commitments and work!With a background in professional recruitment and coming from a corporate background I understand the pressures of trying to run a household and manage a career. I had also travelled and worked as a live-in au pair so I have firsthand knowledge of how this fabulous arrangement between au pairs and families can work.
I have had the honour of heading up the Cultural Au Pair Association CAPAA since 2020, and an active member of the Australian Nanny Association ( ANA) and the International Au Pair Association (IAPA).
Our team here Smart Au Pairs is committed to providing our families with an amazing service to ensure that their Au Pair experience is a success. We conduct thorough background checks on our families and au pairs to ensure everyones safety.
Smart Au Pairs is in a unique position to offer families a great selection of au pairs that have been selected for them, as well as offering au pairs a wide selection of au pair experiences with our families all over Australia. For any families considering hosting an au pair who are interested in a cultural experience for their children as well as flexible, affordable childcare, we can highly recommend this experience – its truly a gamechanger for busy families.
Camilla
Program Coordinator
I have worked in the au pair industry for over a decade. With a young family, I have hosted au pairs from Germany and The Netherlands. I love the cultural exchange element and believe that is an invaluable asset in maintaining calm and hapiness within your home. I have travelled to Europe to meet two of my previous au pairs and one has been back twice since leaving Australia. I really love working with internernational partners, families and au pairs from across the world and that no single day is the same. To all, flexibility and understanding are key!
Michelle
Program Coordinator Admissions
I am responsible for uploading all our au pair profiles. This involves good communication and collaboration with partners from all over the world. What I appreciate the most about my role is the personal connection I establish with all parties involved. I am highly motivated to provide support and guidance to our au pairs as they navigate their experiences in a new country. In 2021, I got married, and though we do not have any kids, we are proud fur parents to three adorable dogs. I enjoy traveling, trying different kinds of food, and embracing new experiences.
We are happy to help!
