Spanish has best expertise placing au pairs in Dublin and all over Ireland. In the this past year we have had many au pairs going to Cork, Sligo and Galway as well as Dublin. As a result the Au pair Study Organization has grown into one of the biggest au pair companies in Ireland.

An au pair is in cost of being careful of the children. He or she can get food and accommodation
offered by the family cost-free, and a small allocation in addition (like pocket money). The family must
also permit the au pair their time off. Most of the time, the main purpose for coming to Dublin is:
To become proficient in English and get experience abroad. Have the unique opportunity to live the
Irish culture and way of living first hand During their time off, the au pair is free to do whatsoever she
wants to do: learning English at school, being lazy in Dublin or explore Ireland and travel around.
Au pair Ireland are not expert child minders and will not be a certified nanny. Au pairs should not be
in charge for children under 2 years of age. There are no set conditions to becoming an au pair in
Dublin. However, females are generally prefered (there are male au pairs too... but it's rare) between 19
and 30, and citizens of the European Union (in order to avoid visa problems), expertise with children is
probably to be required and a conversational level of English. The minimum period is 2 months and the
au pair cannot stay more than 2 years.
