Family Testimonial...
I am so happy with this site. A few years ago I went through a full aupair agency and spent thousands of dollars to find an aupair. I ended up having to send two aupairs back to their homes at my expense as they didn't work out. I was now in need of a live-out part time aupair or nanny and I found so many qualified candidates immediately. I was able to interview four candidates over a two week period and have now hired a fantastic woman from the site who lives only a mile from my home. I couldn't be happier with the quality of aupairs and nanny's that I met. Their references were fantastic, and they were all so lovely it was very difficult to decide. This site is well worth the small monetary investment that the families make.
