About El Viaje Au Pair Placement Agency
El Viaje is an au pair placement service that truly understands the importance of those early years in your young family's journey.
When you are challenged by family life and work balance, there is an alternative to child care centres or the extended family babysitting roster. Au Pair placement is a sensible and popular option that also allows for parents to feel confident and comfortable with their choice of caregiver.
We also believe that your chosen caregiver needs to be supported in their role as trusted nurturer to your family.
El Viaje is about helping you and your chosen caregiver manage that important relationship from the beginning of the journey through to its natural conclusion.
Au Pair- A French word for belonging to someone or something. Au Pairs are overseas students who would like to spend their gap year following studies living with a family abroad.
An overseas au pair lives with an Australian family to work and to experience living in another country. It's a mutually beneficial relationship: both parties can improve their language skills and experience the interesting and exciting things about living with someone from another culture.
More and more Australian families are beginning to realise the value of au pairs in their lives - improving family life, improving time management skills and developing an awareness of the diversity of culture in our wonderful world.
El Viaje understands that inviting a person to live in your home, is a dynamic and potentially life changing experience.
