*A1 KidsCare UK COMPREHENSIVE Au-Pair Service

Within 24 working hours of receipt of the family’s Application Form, the details and requests of the applying family are
thoroughly assessed and manually matched with those of carefully preselected Au-Pairs from the qualifying countries, with the
aim of ensuring that the placement is pleasurable for both the family and the Au-Pair.

The family is then offered full portfolios of Au-Pair candidates who match their requirements. The Au-pair's information normally consists of the candidate's application form, childcare references, an essay of themselves, their hobbies and interests, and some photos of themselves. As soon as the family selects a candidate(s) whom they consider to be most suitable, a telephone interview is arranged so that the family can speak to and interview the candidate. This also gives the candidate an opportunity to ask the family questions relevant to their vacancy.

Once an Au-Pair is accepted, A1 KidsCare UK sends documents required for finalising the placement / obtaining a VISA to the family. At the same time an invoice is sent to the family. When the documents and payment are received, the Au-Pair's travel arrangements are made. A1 KidsCare UK informs the family of the Au-Pair's travel arrangements and the Au-Pair is met by the family at the point of arrival. Alternatively, the family pays the Au-Pair's transport from that point to their home. From that moment on, as long as the Au-Pair appreciates that this is not a paid holiday and that the family is accepting them into their home and offering full board and pocket money, and that the family members appreciate that they are engaging a student and not a domestic servant, this is an excellent arrangement which usually ends with warm memories and often a friendship that last a lifetime. Our experienced team is just a phonecall away to offer full help and support at all stages of the placement. !

NEW! Hands-on au-pair search option
The Au-Pair Gallery part of our website www.a1kidscare.com includes a Search facility which brings up details of Au-Pairs who are the closest matches for your family. Just complete the questions in "Find an Au-Pair" section and you will receive instant results.

There is also a "SEARCH ANY WORD" field in which you can type in any word and you will receive details of any Au-Pairs who have that word in their application form. For example, if you type in word: "London", you will get details of Au-Pairs who are specifically looking for a family aroundLondon. If you type in: "swimming", you will receive details of all candidates who like swimming. And so on.

The on-line database is updated daily and new files are added as we receive them. You may wish to check for details of new Au-pairs on a daily basis.
