What is an au-pair?

  • An au-pair is a young European girl whose primary purpose in coming to Ireland is to learn English through living with you and your family, and to experience Irish family life and culture first hand.
  • In exchange for your hospitality, friendship and support the au-pair's main responsibility is to provide childcare assistance for up to 30 hours per week plus 2 evenings per week babysitting and to receive Euro 90 per week pocket-money. Some light household duties, mainly related to the children may be included in the 30 hours.
  • Please note there will be an increase in your living expenses i.e. the grocery bill, your heating will need to be on throughout the day, etc.

'Mark & Sarah Beveridge are delighted to advise that they have used the services of Shamrock Au-Pair Agency for the last six years to obtain au-pairs for their family requirements.

The professionalism, friendliness & service that has been provided is exceptional and whenever problems or queries arose they were dealt with most efficiently. We thank Annelies & Fiona who sent us all the au-pairs over the last few years and without their assistance & support we would not have met such wonderful girls and now have a number of countries in Europe where we have a second home to visit.'
