Why Considering an Educated Au Pair is a Family Game-Changer
Why Considering an Educated Au Pair is a Family Game-Changer
For South African parents balancing the demands of work, family, and modern life, the question isn’t whether you need help — it’s what kind of support will truly benefit your children and your household.
At Au Pair At Home, after 30 years in this specialised field, we believe the answer lies in the Educated Au Pair — someone who goes far beyond traditional childcare, offering the skills and guidance to nurture your child’s learning, confidence, and future success in the 21st century.
What Makes an Educated Au Pair Different?
Not every au pair is the same. At Au Pair At Home, we set the bar higher.
Every Educated Au Pair we place:
Has a Matric qualification
Is a current student or graduate of PSET or higher tertiary education (relevant diplomas, degrees, post grads)
Has documented, relevant childcare experience
Brings the knowledge, maturity, and skills gained from advanced studies into their role as educator and mentor
Offers your children a blend of academic, emotional, and social support to excel in a fast-changing world
This means your au pair is not only equipped to care for your child safely, but can also provide meaningful educational input — from guiding homework to encouraging curiosity, problem-solving, and creativity.
Why This Matters for Your Children’s Development
Children don’t just need supervision; they need encouragement, stimulation, and positive role models to thrive. An Educated Au Pair:
Provides personalised learning support — from toddlers learning through play to matric students preparing for exams
Bridges the gap between school and home in a relaxed, one-on-one environment
Encourages the 21st-century skills children need: resilience, critical thinking, and confidence
Becomes a trusted mentor children can look up to through all stages of growth
Peace of Mind for Parents
When you hire through Au Pair At Home, you know your Educated Au Pair has been carefully screened — not only for qualifications, but also for values and personality fit.
The result?
Consistency in your children’s upbringing
Safety and reliability in daily routines and transport
More quality family time when you get home, instead of rushing into homework or chores
The reassurance that your children are guided by someone who truly understands education and development
