Private agencies (or placement organisations) charge £100–£3,500 for matching and visa/formalities where relevant. As the employment/immigration landscape continues to evolve, many families rely on local agencies for compliance assistance. Families finding an au pair privately usually pay for DBS checks and contract drafting only.
Au pairs in the UK must be paid in line with employment law (many families still treat it as pocket money with free board). Typical pocket money ranges widely; many families pay £300–£900/month depending on hours, age, and whether additional babysitting is required (note: application of National Minimum Wage can increase costs).

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.
