Our Screening

We have taken a meticulous and thorough approach to ensure that you get the excellent assistance that you need and deserve within your family!

All applicants are required to fill in our online registration form. If they meet our minimum requirements, they will be invited for a face-to-face interview with one of our consultants, where we will follow a structured in-depth questionnaire to discuss previous experience and characteristics.

These checks are optional if requested by the families. Background checks include: ID/Work Permit Verification; Criminal Background check; Driver’s License Verification; National Sex Offender registry clearance.

We conduct telephonic and/or electronic reference checks for all candidates. However, we highly recommend that you, the family, also reach out to some references directly. This allows you to ask specific questions about the au pair to help you make an informed decision.
