    Hi, try gumtree.ie there's a nannies section and / or post your own add in "wanted section".

    There are a few threads on this already. I you use the search function that should pull up a few threads on same thing for you.

    I have used au pair sites before, you can PM me if want more details.
    We've had quite a few au pairs join our family, all were very nice.

    Try to ask as many relevant questions in your first mail,
    and i find if you let them know the conditions / payments etc straight up front it weeds out time wasters.

    Best of luck.

    Try out Linguaviva, they are an agency for au pairs, although not sure what the story is outside of Dublin. For the record, I've had at least 6 au pairs growing up and love every one of them. I still visit one girl (now lady) every few years and vice versa. Just be clear from the beginning about expectations... yours and theirs... :)
