We were struggling with the day to day grind of pre-school drop offs and pickups and decided an Au Pair was the way to go. Dream Au Pair were amazing and so helpful. It worked so well for us that our children are now all at school and we still have an Au Pair.

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).
