Have you tried looking on au pair world? There are lots of responsible sounding German girls on there looking for roles. The calibre seens generally excellent.

I would also recommend aupairworld. I got my last aupair (German and great) from there. She knows another aupair family who only employ fluent German-speakers who uses that website.

Thanks for the tip. We have a potential au pair flying in´to meet us from Germany this weekend, but will check the site out.

Cheers

We've just recruited a German au pair through Childcare International agency. They have a lot of German girls on their books.

Put an ad on Aupairworld- there are loads of excellent German girls looking for places.

You are being very tight on your conditions though. It is not normal to inteview in person, and aupairs usually don't have responsibilities for under-3s.

I think you should really be looking for a live-in Nanny. It doesn't look like much fun for £100 a week, tbh.

We found our German au pair through EasyAupair.com. Quite a good site, but we received tons of applications from non German native speakers, who did not read the advertised job properly.

We are now looking for others Au pairs in the are (Teddington/Kingston) our au pair could meet! Anybody out there who would like to meet up with her????

Hi Bluepolo,

I am sure our Au Pair would love to meet another German Au Pair. She is 20, and from a small village between Frankfurt and Köln. She is a horseback rider and recently spent 3 months in Africa volunteering in an orphanage. She has other friends living here in London, but no one local yet. You can email me at [email protected] to set something up.

Thanks
