PLACEMENT EXTENSIONS
Many Au pairs extend their agreed placement duration with their host family, which is always wonderful to hear .We do not charge you extra fees if this happens and you do not have to let us know unless you wish to.
GUARANTEE & REFUND POLICY
We recognise that sometimes things do not go to plan, even with the best planning and support.
All long term placements include a 6-week guarantee and a fair refund policy for your peace of mind.
If the Au Pair or Mothers Help fails to arrive, we will offer a replacement within 30 days or offer a 100% refund of your fee.
If the placement is terminated during this period, Sunflower Au Pair & Mothers help Agency will offer one free replacement Au Pair / Mothers Help search. Refund policy is only applicable for the first placement.
Any credits/discounts offered are valid for a period of 3 months unless otherwise confirmed.
However if Sunflower Au Pair & Mothers help Agency are unable to offer suitable replacement Au Pair or Mothers Help candidates within the first 30 days (from the date of notifying us) the following refund schedule applies should you choose to discontinue the replacement search with Sunflower Au Pair & Mothers help Agency .
Unreasonable rejection of replacement candidates (such as amending the new search requirements to be such which are substantially different to the original search) does not automatically warrant a refund.
REFUND POLICY

| 15-30 days from agreed arrival date: | 50% Refund |
| 31- 42 days from agreed arrival date: | 25% Refund |
