The team at our Au Pair Agency is split between our offices in the UK and Australia. We are all Europeans who lived away from home and speak several languages as a result. We want you to benefit from our expertise and passion for cultural exchange. Your satisfaction with our service and the au pair experience as a whole is our priority and our daily ambition.
Our MD and founder, a well-travelled business mum, Nicole, 45, speaks four languages and has, prior to managing the au pair agencies, spent 15 years travelling the world as a manager in the travel industry with companies such as Hilton hotels, First Choice Holidays, Airmiles and P&O.
Nicole, who moved to England in 1993 from her native Holland has always been passionate about encouraging young people to broaden their horizons and to improve their language skills. In 2009 she moved to Australia for another ‘cultural adventure’.
With two children and husband with an equally demanding career, childcare has always been vital to help balance the demands of juggling family and work. A family au pair was ideal as it gave the children early exposure to cultural exchange.
Her own au pair hosting experiences combined with her career in travel marketing and passion for languages inspired her to set up Smart Au Pairs. The benefits of affordable and flexible live-in childcare continue to motivate her to recommend more families to embrace the au pair experience.
