Has worked amazing for us, as a family with two kids (aged 3 & 5). We had an awesome selection of au pairs to choose from and definitely got a winner. Dream Au Pair provided an excellent orientation, organises regular catch ups and social events. Were very responsive to fixing an issue we had early on (outside of their control).

Works extremely well for me . They train the au pairs to be knowledgeable about the children and to strive to learn good child learning techniques on the job
