Hosting a Dream Au Pair is cheaper than employing a Nanny and if you have more than 1 child its often cheaper than Daycare. An Au Pair lives with you and so her room and board makes up a portion of her weekly wages. Daycares charge per child so hosting an Au Pair is a more cost effective option for families with multiple children.

Dream Au Pair will introduce your Au Pair to other girls nearby as soon as she arrives. We also organise regular social outings and encourage Au Pairs to join local clubs. As an Au Pair has her own room there is always a space she can go and have time alone and to give you your privacy.  We have found that as soon as your Au Pair has her own social network then both the Au Pair and the family are happy.

We have hundreds of Dream Au Pairs caring for children all over New Zealand. As part of our early education programme we organise weekly play groups, child outings as well as encouraging informal play dates between Au Pairs and their children.

Research shows that young children thrive in a safe, healthy environment with a single primary caregiver. A dedicated caregiver (your loving Au Pair) consistently caring for your child is seen as paramount to helping your child grow and develop.

Yes, if you request an Au Pair who can drive.

• Inexpensive childcare
• FREE date night every week.

Our experience shows that the children are amazingly open to change and that new Au Pairs bring fresh ideas and energy into your home. Hosting a new Au Pair is also a good opportunity to reassess how it is working and to start new initiatives.

We suggest registering as soon as possible. The process can take a few months to ensure you have the right Au Pair for your family. In saying that, at times we are able to arrange an Au Pair who is already in New Zealand to meet you and start immediately.

Most Au Pairs are young girls with some childcare experience. We recommend Au Pairs not be left sole charge of babies until they are at least six months old. However, our Au Pair experts will often have suitable experience caring for infants so please talk to your Placement Consultant.

Yes of course! Lots of our Dream Au Pair families are single parent families.

Every family gets 1 FREE "Babysitting night" each week. These hours can't be saved and must be used that week. Babysitting starts when the children are usually in bed.

Dream Au Pair offers a rematch to families and Au Pairs whose placement does not go as expected within the first three months. Thats our guarantee.
