This is to keep you safe whilst looking for au pairs and nannies

NEVER SEND MONEY TO AU PAIRS AND NANNIES for any reason!
DO NOT CONTACT AU PAIRS or NANNIES who put their contact details in the text or on their pictures – they are scammers.

We take your safety seriously – Do you do too? Please read and follow this advice. Naturally your choices and actions are entirely under your control and are your responsibility. Therefore we can only help you by giving you our best advice. It is solely your responsibility to read and follow it!

Phishing warning: if you receive an email that appear to be from New Au Pair, asking to visit a page (not on our website) and enter your email address and password to ‘validate’ your account: DON’T DO THIS !  We never send out such emails to our users.

Nannies/au pairs who are not what they seem

All au pair-family matching websites have scammers signing up and pretending to be genuine members.  We are constantly monitoring and stopping this activity.  Most of the time these profiles will be removed, before you even see them. Nevertheless, occasionally you might come across one before that happens.
Here is what to do:

TO DO: NOT TO DO:
Read fully and follow our advice : it is for your benefit.
Only make first contact with members through our website.
We monitor, block and delete suspicious au pair/nanny profiles. So if you see an au pair who published contact details CONTACT US.
Use your instincts. If an au pair or nanny behaves suspiciously, find out more about them before making any commitments.
99.9% of all the nannies and au pairs on this site are genuinely looking for a job with a family like yours.  Avoid profiles with connection with the Cameroon or Nigeria (even if they say they are another nationality).
NEVER SEND MONEY to any au pair or nanny.  If they ask to send money for visas, documents, air fares etc – DO NOT DO IT.
If you see an ‘au pair’ with a published email etc do not contact them. They are scammers or dishonest and our system will soon delete them from the website. CONTACT US if you see one.
Never react to emails pretending to come from us but directing you to another website to put your details in.
Never react to emails to an au pair or nanny who’s first contact comes directly to you and not through our website. No unregistered visitor can see your details, only our members can.

Almost all the nannies and au pairs on this site are genuinely looking for a childcare job with a family like yours. Please follow all the safety advice, to have a nice experience.
