We specialize in matching Polish and Czech au pairs with families in Great Britain and Ireland. We have successfully placed au pairs with families all over England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

At Countdown we believe that through personal contact and attention to detail we have the best chance to successfully match the Family and the Au Pair. We achieve this because of our experience and our team of Polish and English staff. 

Our fees are minimal and our service unbeatable. We aim to please and for you to recommend us to your friends and families.

If you would like to become an au pair please complete our online registration form and we will contact you for further details.  Likewise if you are a family looking for an aupair we can help! Some of the many au-pairs currently on our books can be found here.

What is an au pair?

An au pair is a young, unmarried person, aged 18-26 who lives with a family abroad, for a period of 2-3 months up to 2 years, in order to improve a foreign language and to experience a new culture.
An au pair should be treated as part of the family, eat with them and have their own bedroom.
An au pair is not a trained nanny, and not a domestic servant or housekeeper.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Working hours per week:
Au pair - 25 hours plus 2-3 evenings baby sitting.

Time off per week:
2 full days and other time by arrangement with the family. These arrangements might include free time to study English at a College.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Duties:
Helping with the children, taking children to and from school, light housework (ironing, dusting, vacuuming, washing up), preparing breakfast, snacks and light meals, baby sitting. Au pairs are considered to be working if they are required to be available and are not free to leave the house even if they are not actively working, for example if the children are in bed asleep.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Benefits:
Au pair - £ 40 - 50 pocket money per week, own bedroom and food.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Family's responsibility:
To welcome the au pair into their family and treat him/her as part of the family. To make it a happy and safe environment for everyone in the family. Inform the au pair of his/her duties, free time and pocket money in a welcome letter. Give the au pair a little time to settle into his/her new way of life and for the family to get used to having a stranger in their home. A little patience and understanding is required by both the au pair and the family.
