By living with a carefully selected family as an au pair/nanny you will be able to work with children and really taste the "Australian way of life". You will make new friends from around the world, safe in the knowledge that we are there to care for you and ensure that your stay is all you have dreamed of!

We are able to offer either a choice of meeting and selecting your own host family whilst staying at a centrally located youth hostel in SYDNEY, or having a pre-arranged family in MELBOURNE, BRISBANE, ADELAIDE, BYRON BAY, THE GOLD COAST or even ALICE SPRINGS! You would then fly direct to that city and join the family on arrival.

An Au Pair is expected to work between 25 - 30 hours per week. Salary is approximately AUS $180 plus free board and lodging. Lots of free time! An Au Pair has usually had some experience in childcare but has had no formal training.

A qualified Nanny can earn between AUS $250 - $350 per week plus full board and lodging (subject to experience and hours worked) A qualified nanny will normally expect to have 'sole charge' of the children in her care and will be responsible for their general well-being.
