How can I find reliable Au Pairs in Australia or a nanny near me who meets my family's needs?

Taking the step to welcome an Au pair to your home is a big one, so finding the right agency is important.

AIFS Au Pair is Australia's only Child Wise accredited Au Pair agency. Our focus on child protection and screening is peace of mind for any family. Prior to being accepted to AIFS, every one of our Au pairs is police and medical checked, completes an interview process, and must provide references which are verified.

If you have ever thought 'nanny needed near me,' consider that before heading to your home, AIFS Au Pairs attend an orientation week in Sydney, complete first aid training as well as face-to-face sessions including topics on age-appropriate care and culture shock.

Throughout your placement, AIFS offers you comprehensive support. This includes our own unique after-hours Community Counsellor support. It is one of the reasons why so many AIFS families use our service year upon year.

Whether your thought is 'we need a nanny Australia' or you’re specifically seeking 'AIFS Au Pair Australia,' hosting an Au pair is more than just childcare; it will open your doors to a life-changing cultural exchange which offers a global experience for your children. Whether your family is in Melbourne, Cooma, or Cairns, let AIFS help open the door to a life-changing experience.
