our families and au pairs say it best:

  • ABC Au Pairs were friendly and really helpful when finding an au pair for us. Anais was our first au pair and it is working really well. We’ll be back next time!!–Elisabeth Miles-Kelly, Guildford

  • Our au pair, Sara, arrived and after a couple of weeks was really homesick. We thought this would mean she needed to go home but we spoke to Lucy at ABC who gave us some advice and now Sara is happy and really enjoying her experience. Happy house!–Seb Crinchley, Hove
