AU PAIR DUBLIN

The European Au Pair Agency help families in Dublin find suitable au pairs from a wide variety of European countries who can assist with childcare and become a key part of their family life.

Our au pair Dublin service is designed to provide families with childcare solutions such as:

Assisting with homework

Bringing children to school

Children's laundry

Helping children get ready for school

Light house cleaning duties

Play and activities

We take great pride in delivering a professional and reliable service for our clients and understand how important it is to recommend young women or men who can seamlessly integrate into the lives of you and your children.

Every family who welcomes an au pair into their family home will introduce their new household member to the Irish way of life and create an environment that supports the development of both your children and your assigned au pair.

A successful placement will allow for everyone to benefit from the au pair Dublin experience when timetables are created and enabling au pairs to organise their own free time to learn English, socialise and discover Ireland.
