Australia
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". By choosing Childcare International for your voyage downunder you have the security of an agency both in Australia and in England.
You will fly directly to the host family which you have chosen yourself through our recommendations and you will be welcomed by our local agency with full support throughout your stay.
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!
Your host family in Australia will be chosen by you before you leave the UK. You will be given every opportunity to speak with, FaceTime / Skype, e-mail and exchange photos and information with those families who appear to be a suitable match for your requirements and our Team will always be on hand to give any advice you may require.
Together with our Australian partner agencies, we are able to offer you a pre-arranged family in or around SYDNEY, MELBOURNE, PERTH, BRISBANE, ADELAIDE, BYRON BAY, THE GOLD COAST or even ALICE SPRINGS!
In Australia an Au Pair is expected to work between 25 - 35 hours per week. Salary is approximately AUS $200 - $350 (depending on experience and on the hours worked) free board and lodging. Lots of free time!
An Au Pair has usually had some experience in childcare but has had no formal training. We would require a minimum of 50 hours of childcare experience but 100 plus hours preferred.
A qualified Nanny can earn between AUS $250 - $400 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.
Length of Stay: Our families always prefer a minimum of a 6 month placement but preferably longer which will still allow plenty of opportunity for onward travel.
(1 year Working Holiday Visa).
Driving: It is preferable for you to hold a current driving licence. Without this your choice of families is limited.
Benefits: Two weeks paid leave per 6 month placement and end of stay bonus of AUS$250 - $500.
Visa: A Working Holiday Visa will be required for this programme (available for UK citizens and other permitted nationals).
