• We do face to face interviews with all our candidates, to check their childcare experience and intrinsic motivation to be an au pair. We will not propose candidates that will be on their phone all day, or party all week.
• Our screening process also includes a thorough background check
  • Police record
  • References
  • Medical check (including pregnancy test).

• Usually the process takes around 2-3 months from the moment you place your au pair booking, to arrival.
  • An EU au pair candidate can speed up things, but then again finding a motivated and serioeus candidate from Europa can take longer.

• No, not per se:)
  • It depends on what you as family want, and what the au pair wants.
  • Some families love to have the au pair join every day, some au pairs prefer to eat just 1x a week with the family. If you indicate your preferences when placing a booking, we can find you matching candidates!
  • Always make sure to communicate clearly about expectations, your personal agent will assist you with this as well.

• In her free time, an au pair does what every other +- 2oish person does!
• She does not want to sit next to you on the couch all evening. She is her on her gap year, and will relax in her room after “work”, meet with friends, explore new cities, just watch Netflix and do all other things you also did when you were 22.
• We advice clear agreement and honest, open communication to ensure privacy and boundaries for both au pairs and families go smoothly!

• An au pair is very affordable because it’s a win win!
  • Candidates are young people that often just finished a bachelors/ study.
  • Normally it would be super expensive to live in Europe for 12 months, the hostel alone.
  • They love kids, so in exchange of living with you for free, they get to see the Netherlands, visit Paris, Berlin etc! €340 is a small thank you, an extra as they have 0 costs: housing and food is taken care of.

Help with the kids, and all types of light househelp to keep the family running:

• Vacuuming
• Laundry
• Ironing
• Dishwasher
• Groceries and cooking.
  • Most families really like that the house is neatly arranged when they come home.

Also walking the dog/ taking care of animals when discussed and the au pair agrees.
Not deep cleaning, the au pair is not a specialised cleaning lady.

• Yes! the au pair can join on vacation
  • In most countries this is very normal and the au pair also loves it. An au pair is like a big sister or brother.
  • Be clear from the start when you would like the au pair to join on vacation, then she can tell you whether she would like to go with you and help a bit with the kids.
  • Often parents over flight ticket and all other costs for the au pair, in exchange for some extra help.

• Not per se:)
  • it depends on what you as family want, and what the au pair wants.
  • Some families love to have the au pair join every day, some au pairs prefer to eat just 1x a week with the family.

  • Au pairs are not professionals! but some have experience with brother sister or education in direction of pedagogics. it’s possible, but the au pair cannot be the sole responsible.
  • Ask your agent more info

• It does not happen, but.. it can happen! A family member could get ill, or no match with one of the kids and the au pair..
  • First of all: you will have your personal point of contact at Nina.care, your agent, that will always assist you when something like this happens to find the best and most smooth solution.
  • We advice to take the Nina.care rematch insurance, just in case, for 45 euro per month, we will, in case something happens, put you on top of our list and find you a new matching candidate without having to pay the agency fee again. Also the first month the au pair will have covered healthcare insurance, this is not possible to arrange without BSN ( takes a month to arrange)
