Family of the week

The New South Wales

“This will be our 8th Au Pair, all of whom we've had great experiences with. We've had Au Pairs from USA, Canada, Germany and Finland over the last 8 years. We think of our Au Pairs as big sisters to our two girls, who live in our home and become part of our family for the time they are with us. We prefer that Au Pairs don't think of the position as a job, but more as a cultural exchange where the Au Pair gets to experience living with an Australian family, and in exchange we get some help with caring for our girls and taking care of our home. We'd love to find someone who speaks fluent Italian and can speak Italian with us at home, to help us learn the language. Jason has an Italian heritage.”

What Au Pairs in Australia say

Mel G.

Using Premier Au Pair to find my next Host Family has been such an easy process! Previously I used Facebook groups but I didn't really feel safe with my interactions online. Premier Au Pair gave me an added layer of security and also was free for Au Pair's which was really important. I will be recommending this service to my friends!

Sab K.

I found a great Host Family through Premier Au Pair! I am very glad that I found this website!

A friend who used Premier Au Pair recommended that I also find a Host Family this way! I found a perfect match in less than a week and I am almost ready to start my adventure in Australia. Thumbs up!

Lily C.

I love that Premier Au Pair is free for Au Pair's. I didn't have the money for expensive agency fees so this was a perfect solution. Though I had to put in the work to find my Host Family the team behind Premier Au Pair was happy to answer my questions and I felt supported.

Jen K.

5 stars for Premier Au Pair. I have used other websites but gave up quickly after connecting with Host Families who were not real or genuine. I have not communicated with one family via Premier Au Pair who I felt was not legit. It has been a positive experience!

Molly P.

My mum found a post on Facebook with lots of positive reviews about using Premier Au Pair. As it is a free service there was no risk which was a huge bonus. I have been talking with 3 Host Families that were pretty much perfect for my situation and now the hard part is to choose which one! Great website!

Celia F.

I found a great family through Premier Au Pair. I will use them again when I need my next Host Family.

Marla B.

At first glance, Premier Au Pair appears friendly and relaxed. Creating a profile is quick, but I also put a lot of love and effort into it. And it paid off: I found THE perfect host family in Perth! Thank you, Premier Au Pair!

“Looking back on my experience as an Au Pair in Germany some years ago, I am still filled with gratitude for the incredible journey it provided and the start of a new chapter of my life. I remember well how I gave the children I cared for the famous Australian children's book 'Possum Magic' and how amazing it was to teach them about Australian wildlife and make them speak some words in English with an Australian accent. I wish that Premier Au Pair assists you in finding your au pair job in Australia. That you meet your ideal host family and embark on a thrilling new chapter of your life.”
