Placement agencies and cultural-exchange operators typically charge €150–€2,500 for matching, visa/permit assistance and pre-arrival logistics. If hosts find an au-pair directly they usually only pay for police checks and any visa assistance needed.
Au pairs in Ireland are often paid in line with national minimums (or an agreed pocket money). In practice monthly pocket money plus food/board typically ranges €350–€900, depending on hours, location (Dublin is higher), and whether travel/insurance contributions are included.

At Nina.care, we take great care in selecting au pair candidates who truly fit your family. Our au pairs go through:
✨ A full interview to assess motivation and experience.
✨ English language test
✨ Medical and criminal record checks.
✨ Reference checks from previous host families.
We also save videos from au pair interviews, which you can watch in the au pair’s profile — giving you a clear impression of the candidate before even speaking with them.
