06-02-2017
We recently did a survey with our au pairs – here is some of their
feedback :)
"Smartaupairs gave me the best match of family you could have! I'm so happy with my family and the support from Smartaupairs!”
Leonie from Germany
"I'm glad Smartaupairs was my agency in the UK. I felt fully informed, the guide was very 
helpful! I spent the best summer in London with an amazing host family. Thank you! x”
Eliza from Poland
“I am really happy with 
the way Smartaupairs is looking after me. I feel like I could email or call them anytime if I were not getting along with my host family. Luckily I am very happy with the family I work for and live with”
Mariella from Germany
“Keep up the good work and giving us all the informa
tion we need. I'm really glad that my year will be a good one because of Smartaupairs.”
Jenny from Germany

Larissa from Germany
Comments on our team:
"Robyn Smith - She always got back to me , very helpful and great at being in touch"
"Tuuli - when I had to leave the family because they were awful. Tuuli was very helpful and caring"
"I was in contact with Sandra, she is really nice and she did her job pretty well."
"I have been in contact with Gladys Ngadao. She has been really nice and helpful, when i needed some help."
We work with top agencies abroad who supply au pairs excellent support material already at the very early stages of their application, In addition, Smartaupairs provides the au pairs an extensive au pair guide & au pair listings and lots of other tips for connecting with other au pairs
The above question addresses how prepared the au pairs felt ahead/during their au pair experience.
Other interesting stats:
This statistic is perhaps a little surprising - there seems to be a near 50-50 division between those who do/do not attend a language course.
Other means of finding friends which were mentioned were: meetup.com, family & previous au pair recommendations, language classes, excuses to meet app, smartaupairs own meetups & local au pair pub evenings for example.
We did also gather a list of recommended language classes which is issued directly to all confirmed au pairs along with our other support material :)
