I have just returned home after 3 months au pairing in Bergamo, Italy. Great base to travel from, friendly atmosphere, scrumptious food and a beautiful city. Miss it greatly!!! Truly an amazing experience and made so easy with the support from Elizabeth. She is very welcoming, helpful in organizing everything, checking in and putting you in touch with other au pairs. Thank you!

Hi Elizabeth , I am really fine I was lucky with the family they are really helpful and patient and in January I start English classes!!!
I used to work as an aupair for 6 months!
It was one of the best expirience in my life and for that I want to say thank you to Elizabhet for gave me the possibilities to do that!
Celtic childcare is a very professional agency and I can advice for leave your country and make a nice expirience!
I can say that I have known Elisabeth for many years. Thanks to her agency, my adventure in the UK began and today she is still a point of reference for me.
I have contacted her again, some time later, and her willingness to meet my request was immense, as well as really very valuable to me.
To anyone who wants to have an experience abroad, I recommend contacting her… you will not be disappointed
Living a year in Ireland was the best experience I could have had!
On the first day there someone told me ‘what is different is neither beautiful nor ugly, it is different,’ and this phrase accompanied me throughout the rest of my experience.
When I left I did not know what to expect, I had never been to Ireland or even to a host family, but I was very open and curious to welcome all that would come, and very soon I fell in love with both Ireland and the people I met there, created many memories and made friendships that I still carry with me today.
Life in a host family may not always be easy, you become part of a new reality that will become your new home and you have to get used to it, but my host family welcomed me with open arms from day one and for that I cannot thank them enough.
Thanks to Celtic Childcare aupairs I lived my Irish dream! I had never volunteered before but it was the best choice I could have made. Doing volunteer work abroad gave me the opportunity to enrich my personal, linguistic and cultural knowledge. I fully immersed myself in everyday life by living with a host family and sharing the experience with students who came from various corners of Europe and with whom I spent wonderful days discovering the enchanting landscapes and local traditions that I will always carry in my heart.
Relying on this agency with such a presence in Italy and Ireland was a guarantee, both in preparing for the trip and as support once we arrived.
Good morning Elizabeth! What can I say, I remember every single moment spent this summer with joy. It was only two months but it left me with so much really.
I am very well thank you! The family is very helpful and kind! And I also do well in school! If you want we can talk about MY experience here, by email!
I travelled to Italy for 3 months as an au pair. My experience had it’s ups and downs and I would like to share them with you. First off, my review of the Celtic Child Care Agency is great. They were there for me when I needed them and helped me with everything. This was my first time being an au pair and when I read the reviews when I was deciding on becoming an au pair, all experiences were great. Throughout my experience I learned a lot, I became more independent in myself and over came many obstacles.
I have never bussed or trained before in Canada, so going to live in Italy for three months, was a big change because I had to bus and train everywhere. Not only the transportation but the culture is a big change as well. I worked with two families during the three months. In my opinion, both families are very child orientated.
I stayed with a family for the first month, and a different family for the last two months.
I had some communication issues with the first family, like for the month of July- we went to the family’s sea side and I was not told that I was not allowed to stay at the sea side on weekends which caused a huge issue because I had to leave and also transport to Turin city at my own expense which cost about 40 euros in total for one weekend- which is almost half my pay just for transportation). This is where Celtic Child Care Agency helped me a lot. I was able to stay at a place thanks to them, which I was very grateful for.
I did have fun, learned a lot, and got to travel on the weekends- going to places such as Rome, Milan, Venice, cinque terre, etc. I got to meet other au pairs at hostels and made new friends. I got to spend my time at the beach at their sea side with the two girls. But there can be ups and downs and I just want people to know- looking into this- that sometimes it isn’t perfect.
Celtic Child Care Agency helped me when I needed a place to stay and when I needed to switch families.
It was a good experience, and like I said before, I truly learned a lot. If you are reading this and want to message me, please do! I am very open

.I just finished an amazing nine weeks au pairing in Italy. Elizabeth’s help in finding me a suitable family and ensuring my compatibility and comfort was invaluable. I highly recommend going through Celtic childcare as my experience was definitely made a lot easier knowing I had their support.
