Au Pair Private Support
Are you an au pair or nanny and think you and your host family
would benefit from some extra support? While we always
recommend using an accredited agency to find your host family, we
understand that sometimes the perfect match simply makes
itself! If this is the case for you and your host family,
we'd love to support you throughout your placement. Our Au
Pair Private Support programme means you can gain experience in
home based Early Childhood Education, while also nurturing bright
young minds. We can offer you quality educational support
from one of our Family & Programme Managers (all qualified ECE
teachers), as well as access to our local playgroups, activities
and events, where you can meet fellow Au Pair Link au pairs in your
local area from all over the world! Your family will also be
able to claim their 20 Hours ECE and WINZ subsidises!
What's included?
- Around-the-clock support from our Family & Programme
Managers (ECE teachers)
- Gain Early Childhood Education (Ages 0-5 years old) experience
- a perfect way to begin your path to a career in teaching
- Access to our orientation course and child first aid
training

What does it cost?
What's involved?
Simply get your host family to enrol the children into our
programme. We'll filter the information from their online
profile into our Child Enrolment Form. To do this, simply
login and complete the first section of the application (Initial
Application), as well as the Children's Details section. From
there, we'll need you to print and sign your Child Enrolment Forms
and send them back to us. You can find these pre-filled forms in
your Supporting Documents section of your family profile.
By signing up to our Ministry of Education licenced support
programme, we'll also need to book in a quick meeting in your home.
The purpose of this meeting is to give you the opportunity to meet
someone locally from Au Pair Link, and to ensure the suitability of
the au pair's room/lodgings. We will also conduct a Health
& Safety check during this meeting. The Introduction and
Assessment Meeting will take approximately 45 minutes and is a
requirement for all host families.
Once we have got the paperwork sorted out for your family, we
will get in touch with the au pair and then get your family and au
pair matched up on the back end of our system!
