Australian Au Pairs

We now recruit personally in Australia

Would you like your next au pair or mother's help to be a native English speaker?


As we now recruit personally in Australia, we can offer affordable placement fees, as we have Australian candidates to fit into the GOLD category with placement fees starting from £480+VAT for a non-driving position.

Smartaupairs is the only agency in Britain to directly enrol Australian nannies, au pairs, mother’s help candidates, tutors and governesses. We screen, prepare and train our candidates for positions in Britain.


Our agency in Adelaide is ideally placed to help find candidates for families in Britain. Managed by Nicole Kofkin who has years of experience from the UK office; knows what host families need and not only screens but prepares candidates for the position awaiting. This way; we know exactly what candidates have been given in terms of documentation and preparation material and we know it matches our high standards.


As part of the package we offer Australian au pairs, we offer an accredited Au Pair Course in collaboration with MKLC. The training course is designed to be a 30 hour course divided into 4 sections, covering topics such as Getting To Know Your Family, Health & safety, Food & Recipes and ‘Out & About’. Throughout the course your au pair will have access to support from a tutor plus a student forum. At the end of the course, when all the assessments/tasks have been completed successfully, an official certificate will be issued.


English speaking candidates have always been very popular. Now, with our own recruitment efforts we can ensure we can find more native speakers for more host families.


We are looking for candidate with a real interest in children and a background in childcare. Many young Australians are frequent babysitters from a young age and this experience prepares them very well for our programs.
