Together with our international partners we offer a complete personal service to families looking for help at home and to individuals wishing to broaden their horizons by working in a safe, friendly family environment abroad.
Great care is taken in matching applicants with you, the host family. Wherever possible we give you a selection of carefully screened applicants to choose from. We provide references, photographs, a 'dear family' letter and full information to assist you in your choice. We encourage our clients to telephone possible applicants to discuss their personal requirements in full and get to know each other to ensure a great match.
Are you looking for an Au Pair, an Au Pair Plus, Mother's Help, Nanny or Companions and Housekeepers?
To help you decide which category of help is most suitable for you, take a look at all your options as listed individually on our website.
Our Au Pair and Au Pair Plus applicants come to the UK under the Cultural Exchange Programme with the intention of experiencing the British way of life by living and becoming a part of the home life of a welcoming host family. An Au Pair will assist with both childcare and household duties for a few hours each day giving an "extra pair of helping hands" to a busy family.
Our Mother's Help Help and Nanny applicants are full-time employees of the host family. Depending on age, experience and qualification, duties can range from helping in the home with a variety of light household duties including childcare whilst our nannies can have sole charge responsibility for all age groups.
All our overseas applicants live as part of the family and are expected to be made welcome as a member of your family. In so many cases, our families and their Au Pairs develop a lasting friendship which continues well after he/she returns home.
All our loyal customers receive a reward for returning to Childcare International and for recommending friends. Please view our Inventives and Discounts section.
