Are you an Irish family looking for reliable, experienced childcare this summer? A summer au pair could be the perfect solution — and Spanish Au Pair Ireland has been placing qualified Spanish childcare professionals with Irish families for over 20 years.
Our summer au pairs are available from mid-June through to the end of August or early September, covering the full Irish school summer holiday period.
What Is a Summer Au Pair?
A summer au pair lives with your family for the duration of the school holidays, providing dedicated childcare and becoming a genuine part of your household. Unlike a childminder or creche, a summer au pair is available throughout the day, can accompany your children on days out, and brings the added bonus of Spanish language and cultural enrichment.
Our Spanish summer au pairs come from Spain with backgrounds in teaching, childcare and nursing. They come to Ireland to improve their English, experience Irish life, and work with children — which is why they make exceptional candidates for Irish families during the summer months.
