Au Pairs have been around for many years - often it was seen as an opportunity for young girls to go and live with a family overseas for a year and enjoy experiencing another culture. Nowadays, due to the pace of our modern society the trend of hiring a local Au Pair has become very popular, even a necessity, among South Africans!
Our lifestyles have changed a lot in the past decade and it's generally accepted that both parents work - this creates a problem when it comes to childcare.Parents obviously want the best for their children but it's often difficult to juggle work, kids, after school activities, gym and family life! This is where an Au Pair fills the gap perfectly!
