ADVANTAGES

  • Easily find a suitable Au pair
  • Safer
  • Less stress by outsourcing paperwork

O-PAIR can significantly simplify the process of finding and supporting an Au Pair for both the family and the Au Pair.

Here are the key ways O-PAIR can add value:

1. Selection and Recruitment Process
  • Quality Control: We provide a personal selection of Au Pairs. We perform thorough background checks (such as reference checks, medical examinations and possibly a police certificate) to ensure a safe and reliable Au Pair.
  • Matchmaking : The agency helps find an Au Pair who is a good fit for the family's needs. They take into account factors such as parenting style, language preferences, experience with children, personal characteristics and cultural background.
  • Personal preferences : O-PAIR offers a wide range of candidates and allows families to indicate preferences, such as desired nationality, age or specific skills (for example, experience with a certain type of care or speaking a specific language).
2. Administrative Support
  • Paperwork and visa requirements : The agency supports the family in arranging administrative matters, such as applying for an Au Pair visa (if applicable), drawing up contracts and registering the Au Pair with the local authorities.

  • Insurance: Help arrange necessary insurance for the Au Pair

  • Legal and contractual matters: O-PAIR offers advice and helps to draw up an employment contract that complies with Belgian law

  • Language courses: Arranging registration in a language school

  • Other training: Offering training to Au Pairs, for example driving lessons that help the Au Pair in her work.
3. Interim Support and Mediation
  • Conflict assistance : If problems or misunderstandings arise between the family and the Au Pair, the agency can mediate. This can be about working hours, tasks, communication or cultural differences. The agency offers mediation to find a solution.

  • Regular follow-up: Regular follow-ups, for example by phone or email, to check how the Au Pair and the family are doing. This helps to identify and solve problems early.

  • Emergency Contact: O-PAIR provides support in case of emergencies, such as illness, a family member returning home, or other urgent situations.
    4. Quality Guarantee and Replacement Service
    • Satisfaction Guarantee: O-PAIR offers a guarantee in which we promise to find the right Au Pair for you. If there are major problems during the first 4 weeks after arrival in the family, we will find a solution free of charge.
    5. Cost-effective
    • Cost: Although O-PAIR does involve costs, we can often help you find the right Au Pair faster and easier than if you were to search yourself. We take a lot of the administrative and legal worries off your hands, which can save time and money in the long run.

    • Reliability: Since we have an extensive network of verified Au Pairs, the family can have more confidence in the selection and are assured of a reliable working relationship.
