We provide live-in Au Pairs, Parents’ Helps (formerly Mother’ Helps ) & Housekeepers throughout the whole of the Republic of Ireland, Dublin and UK.
Are you looking for a more flexible childcare option? Have you been struggling to find wraparound care that works for your family’s specific needs? Do you need some more support with your children and around the house?
Life can be complicated, especially with young children. We understand that your working patterns or personal circumstances might need a bit more support than standard after-school care can provide. Rather than patchworking together a series of fixes that still leave you scrabbling for help when your child gets sick or an important meeting comes up, let us help you find a single, perfectly matched solution to your problem.
Whether you’re looking for an au pair, or some extra support from a parents' help, we are here to assist. We pride ourselves on being a reliable Au Pair Agency in London and Ireland and we will work with you to establish exactly what you need, source the best applicants for your criteria and set up the final placement.
If the house is where you need more help, then we can also connect you with live-in housekeepers to suit all requirements.
We have developed an international personal network which ensures that many of our Au Pairs and UK families come to us by personal recommendation. It is also possible to place UK based Au Pairs and Mothers helps (all of whom are based in the UK) with families. We also have extensive links with partner agencies across Europe. The services offered after an Au Pair is placed includes customer support as well as pre-placement services.

[…] Need an Au Pair Agency in Ireland for your home? There are a few things to consider before you hire any Au Pair Agency in Ireland. First, find out what kind of experience you want from your au pair. Do you want someone who will help with the children, or do you want a housekeeper? If it's the latter, then consider looking for a cleaning service instead. Second, be sure to ask about how long they've been in business and how many families they've helped. You want to make sure your agency is reliable and trustworthy—you don't want to end up on the receiving end of a scam. Thirdly, check their references and see if they have any complaints against them on social media or in other places like forums where people discuss problems with certain companies or businesses. If not, then this is probably a good sign that there aren't any problems with the agency itself! Fourth, make sure the agency has references from other families who have used their services. If they don't have any or can't provide them, ask why not. Fifth, ask if they will conduct an interview with you and your family before sending over an au pair candidate so that you can get acquainted before making any final decisions about who will be living with you full-time! Finally, make sure that both you and your potential au pair understand what is expected of each of you during the time they will spend together. Many agencies will have a contract template that you can use to draft one up yourself or get an idea of what's reasonable before making a final decision about which agency to go with. […]
