Why Choose a Spanish Au Pair?
A Spanish au pair brings a genuine love of children rooted in Spanish family culture, and real experience caring for children. Many of our Spanish au pair candidates have backgrounds in childcare, teaching or early-years education.
Irish families consistently tell us that their Spanish au pair becomes part of the family within weeks. The warmth, patience and professionalism that Spanish au pairs bring to Irish homes is why we’ve been placing them exclusively since 2010.
What makes a Spanish au pair different:
- Childcare experience or a teaching or early education background
- Spanish police clearance and medical clearance on every profile
- Warm, family-oriented culture — children are central to life in Spain
- Bilingual benefit — your children naturally pick up Spanish
- Mature, responsible candidates, most with childcare experience
A specialist agency recruiting Spanish au pairs in Spain, through our own recruitment activities and established recruitment partners. Our candidates are interviewed by our own team and Spanish recruitment partners, with verified references and police clearance checks in Spain.

I would highly recommend Paul and Spanish Au Pair. From my first call Paul immediately understood my situation and knew exactly what our family needed. The whole process was smooth and stress free from start to finish.
This was our first time going with an agency and we are very happy with our au pair. She has been with us 10 weeks and is part of our family. We have complete peace of mind every morning leaving the house knowing our kids are in capable hands. Your agency has surpassed itself. Paul made this whole process much easier with all his practical advice and information. We couldn’t be happier with our placement.
We were very anxious to get it right first time and Spanish Au Pair delivered. Three days after our initial call we had profiles to review. Fast, professional and genuinely helpful throughout.
I have been using Spanish Au Pair for the past 5 years. All of our Au Pairs have been fantastic. All have great English and brilliant with kids. Superb company and great service
We have been using Spanish Au Pair for three years. Maria and Sara have been superb Au Pairs and we have been in touch with them since they have left. We are now on our third and another excellent placement. Thanks Paul
