Because your children are too precious to leave with just anyone, all our au pairs go through a rigorous screening process – including police and medical checks, childcare and character references and a personal interview to assess their English ability and suitability to care for children. All our au pairs also have at least 200 hours of documented childcare experience, but on average our au pairs have 1300 hours of experience!
