Au Pair Advice

JJJJNR · 2010-07-30 22:30:32

Hi, Due to some unforeseen personal circumstances I need to get an au pair ASAP and I don't know the first place too look. Its pretty much an emergency situation if anyone can give me some advice on contacts.

Several of my friends with twins used http://aupair-world.net/ with great success, but as it is a website, not sure how quickly you'd get someone- you'd need to contact them, work out terms, then fly them over... If it is a true emergency and you need someone within aweek or two, you may need to get a nanny short term, while you look for an aupair.

Silja pretty much hit the nail on the head, check out gumtree, rollercoaster, magicmum, etc, people are always advertising as childminders. You may need to employ one until you can get an au pair in place.
