Families, Why Choose Au Pair & Nanny Network Australia?
We understand that traditional childcare options may not meet the needs of every family, particularly those with demanding work schedules such as shift work and extended hours beyond standard childcare availability. In today’s fast-paced world, where geographical distance or frequent relocations limit access to extended family support, the option of hosting an Au Pair / Demi Pair can offer a flexible and personalised solution.
Our Au Pairs / Demi Pairs are screened by our trusted international partners. With babysitting experience as the minimum requirement, they can bring a range of childcare experiences, including work experience in day-care centres, holiday camps, homework assistance, tutoring, and sports coaching.
It’s crucial to consider your Au Pair / Demi Pair as an essential member of your family unit, offering invaluable daily support.
Hosting a live-in Au Pair / Demi Pair can provide
- Cultural Exchange: Hosting an Au Pair or Demi Pair provides an opportunity for cultural exchange, allowing the host family and the Au pair / Demi pair to learn about each other's cultures, traditions, and languages.
- Personalised Care: Unlike traditional childcare options, hosting an Au Pair / Demi Pair allows for personalised and individualised care for the children, tailored to the family's specific needs and preferences.
- Flexible Childcare: Au Pairs / Demi Pairs can provide flexible childcare hours, making them well-suited for families with irregular work schedules, shift work, or extended hours.
- Extra assistance: Au pairs help with daily household tasks in a busy home environment, such as support with cooking, cleaning, laundry, homework supervision, and more. This provides valuable and priceless support to working families.
- Reliable care for your child: During times of illness or on pupil-free days/holidays.
- Companionship and assistance: Au Pairs become an extended family of the family, providing love and support to the children and the family.
- Essential support for single parents: Assistance in navigating the demands of parenthood.
We strive to match you with an Au Pair / Demi Pair who aligns with your family’s unique requirements.
Welcoming an Au Pair / Demi Pair into your home not only provides practical assistance but also offers an enriching cultural exchange experience for your children.
You’ll soon discover the invaluable contribution an Au Pair / Demi Pair makes to your family life!
*Please note, while it is ultimately at the family’s discretion, we do not recommend entrusting Au Pairs / Demi Pairs with sole responsibility for children under the age of two, as they are not qualified childcare workers.
