What is Au Pair SA?
Au Pair SA is a South African online au pair agency that has serviced over 5000
families and 25000 au pairs around the country since its inception in April
2007.
The website matches up families in South Africa with South African au pairs
looking to work locally, without the hassle of dealing with a standard au pair
agency and at a fraction of the cost of a regular au pair placement service.
We cater for part-time and full-time positions, morning and afternoon
positions, live-in and live-out placements, special needs placements, and
placements of all types of au pairs from students to professional care-givers
to retired moms looking to use their experience to help a new family.
How does it work?
Au Pairs who are looking for an au pair job register for free on the website to
view a list of our currently available vacancies. Families who are looking for
an au pair can also register for a free “Limited” membership to view a list of
currently available au pairs.
Timetables, location, special requirements/skills etc are all part of a
detailed set of criteria used by the website when matching au pairs and
families.
