    The au pairs in Kilkenny usually meet up using this facebook page. She won't be long finding friends.

    Hi,

    We have an aupair from Spain. Most of the time her & her Spanish friends on a Saturday night will be in Matt the Millers, Peagus or the Left Bank.

    Your aupair will have no problem finding the half - dozen 'Las Chicas' that are out together.

    Hi all, we are a family based in Kilkenny city and recently have been discussing the idea of inviting an aupair to join our family for a year- for those that already have an aupair can I ask if you can recommend an agency or how you found your aupair? Any recommendations or pitfalls to avoid? Thanks

    Hi,

    we have our first au pair since March & it has been great. She is really part of the familiy & is like a very helpfull older sister.
    We did not use an agency but found her on

    As for pitfalls be sure that you will be happy to share your home & make her/him welcome. Be sure you know what type of skills /person that you want. It is also important to do a detailed job description for both of ye so that everyone has a clear understanding of their duties to each other and that all of ye agree to it before s/he comes.
    Apart from that try & skype the candidates so that you geta feel for the person. I would also recomend getting someone who is 20+ & has a bit of maturity.


    Sean
