Celtic Childcare is an agency that has been operating since 1997 and is based in Turin; it is a member of the International Au Pair Association and a founding member of the Italian National Au Pair Agency Association.

Celtic Childcare was created to encourage young people to a cultural exchange between countries, giving them the opportunity of being welcomed in a family carefully selected by us. The agency offers Italian families the possibility to host in their homes young people coming from different cultures and countries (native speakers of English, Italian, French, German and Spanish), who want to embark on this experience, an experience that will enrich children, au-pairs and parents.

This summer I got the opportunity to teach English in

To these three wonderful children. This was a life time experience that I will always hold close to my heart. Throughout this journey, I realized that I am on the right path in building my career

Thank you Giovanni, Maria Laura and Vittorio for a wonderful summer! I will miss you so much

I am writing to thank you for the wonderful experience that I had partly because of you and your agency. I returned yesterday after two months that gave me so much on a linguistic level and also on a human level…getting to know a wonderful family who treated me like a daughter, a sister and expanding my vocabulary, expanding my knowledge of English. Thank you very much because you made it all possible.”

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.

Annie

This past summer, I spent 3 incredible months au pairing in Torino, Italy. The family, the city and the culture were beyond lovely and I miss all of it so dearly. Elizabeth was very kind, considerate and she made it easy for me to get in touch with other au pairs. This experience was nothing but positive and I am so thankful for all the support I got, in order to make me feel welcome and at home. Thanks again for everything!

Rose S.

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.

Jenny M.

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

I’m in Italy until Jan. 2, I’m absolutely available about sharing my amazing experience with you. I remain available and take this opportunity to wish you Happy Holidays!

Erika A.

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.

This summer I went with Celtic Childcare for three weeks. I worked as a volunteer in a clothing store in the small town of Killarney and it was a wonderful experience. At first I was feeling a little homesick, and unfortunately the first family I had to go to had taken the Covid. Despite this initial hiccup Elizabeth was very supportive, and I was assigned to a new host family who took me in like a son. The thing that amazed me most about Ireland is the hospitality and welcome of the Irish, it sounds cliché but it really is. The work environment was very relaxed and I got on well with my colleagues right away, they were always helpful and we established a good relationship. Despite the work I still had time to go out and visit new places! The environment, even though Killarney is small, was quite international and I met many people from different parts of the world, especially from Spain. Immersed in this environment my English improved a lot in a short time.

I will preface this by saying that I trusted the agency blindly because this experience came about as much by chance as out of curiosity. But after 4 months in Germany I can say that I would gladly do it again, even though I am only at the “beginning.”

Mediation by the agency has been and still is essential, for any smallness the director has advice or an answer. The project is good especially because you are followed and supported, I dare not imagine what it is like to undertake such an adventure without some support. I highly recommend everyone to have an experience like this, which can change you for the better as a person, but most of all further open your mindset.

Have I already said that I recommend it?
