Host an au pair and get the help you were looking for for your children
Celtic Childcare is looking for Italian families who want to host girls from abroad. For many years our agency has supported young women who wish to become au pairs abroad, and helps them to match them with a family and takes care of their relocations.
For working parents sometimes need help with their children, but it’s not always easy to find a trusted person to leave their children with. Hosting an au pair in your home may be the most suitable solution, as it provides a flexible help and assistance service that meets the needs of the family group. Precisely for this reason, more and more Italian families are hosting girls from abroad. An au pair is a young person who lives abroad with a host family, and who will look after their children in exchange for food, accommodation and monthly wages. It is a unique experience for the whole family, as welcoming a person from another country will allow you to get to know another culture and improve your language skills.
For nearly 25 years, Celtic Childcare has been looking after au pairs and host families, helping both to find accommodation that satisfies both parties. Become one of the Italian families that host girls from abroad! Discover the dedicated section on our website to find all the information to register for the program!
