Amazing Pairs

We specialize in placing au pairs, nannies and tutors (live-in and live-out), who are native speakers of English, French or German, in contact with Spanish families who appreciate what these caregivers can bring to their family.

We are committed to bringing out the win-win for the family and the caregiver. If you're a top au pair candidate, who has a lot to offer to your host family and high expectations for his/her au pair experience, we want to meet you!

Application Process

Are you a nanny or an au pair, and are you interested in applying? We are always on the lookout for great candidates, and it is always free for au pairs and caregivers to apply!

Step 1 We want to learn more about you! Fill in the form below to tell us more about yourself. Let us know where you come from, share your childcare experience, philosophies, and training in order for us to best match you with a family. Discuss your needs and availability, preferred job scenario, etc.

Step 2 We will review the application and, if you qualify, get in touch with you for the next phase, a personal interview. We will meet one-on-one, either in person or via Skype, at a convenient time that best suits your schedule. Interviews usually last 30 minutes, on average.

Step 3 Combining the information from the application and the personal interview, we will create an Amazing Pairs CV to share with prospective families, which will be shared with you for approval. Once you have approved your Amazing Pairs CV and signed our Childcare Agreement Contract, we will begin contacting your references.

Step 4 We will then look through our list of families to see which ones are a best fit, and propose interviews with them. These interviews are important, as they are always 2-way interviews, as much for you to see how you feel about the family, as they are about how the family feels about you. We can help you ask the right questions in these interviews.

Step 5 Our relationship does not end once you find your family and sign a contract with them. We hope to stay in touch and see you once you are in Spain, and of course if you have any problems during your stay that we can help solve.
