Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
au pair
Anyone got recommendations for agencies, or how to pick a good au pair from the squillions online ?
I have never had an au pair but have come round to thinking about the options again ...

We have used Gumtree twice and Au Pair World twice. On all occassions we ended up with wonderful au pairs. I have never used an agency and so far we have been very lucky. Admittingly you are emailed by a lot of unsuitable candidates, but you know when it is right. Good luck - Shula

I've never tried these websites (never had an au pair either altough I've been considering it too for some time). Most people on mumsnet seem to recommend aupair-world.net.
Today I also came across an article (in Italian) about a German agency that places 50-70 year old grannies as au pairs, which sounds quite an interesting idea to me - in fact one of the things that has so far put me off getting an au pair is the idea of giving so much responsibility to someone with hardly any experience (life experience as well as childcare experience).
