tim Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 HiI was wondering if anyone has any info on the best way to find an au pair. I am clueless and when i search on googley I find a list of a hundred agencies and I'd like to know if anyone has any experience and who the best agencies are or is it better to advertise on the forum etc instead. I was also thinking of advertising in language schools.Also any idea on costs or living expenses appreciated. My kids are 2+ and 4+Any help appreciated.thankstim Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/10848-looking-for-an-au-pair/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
