What Our Minders Have to Say
“I loved the service! It was really good and you guys were on top of everything, I loved the courses that I received although my stay. Gerline from The Netherlands. Dec 2020
I took online English lessons with the Dublin school you recommended. The lessons are good because we are only 2 students. Emma- from France – Oct 2020
I always loved working with children. You get so much love from them. I also like to get to know a new culture, and the Irish culture is amazing! Becoming an Au-Pair in Ireland was the perfect combination and it is such a great experience. I took Irish language classes, they were so much fun! Suzanne from Italy- March 2020
About our free course: “I liked the part about food handling and safety. While I was familiar with most of it, a few small facts were new to me and refreshing one knowledge is always good. I also liked the first aid part especially considering first aid for children.” Lea from Germany- June 2019
I completed the pediatric first aid course. I’d been really happy to do them because I felt more confident with the children Eleanor from France- Sept 2018
