Dream Nannies - Live in Au Pair Role

Dream Nannies made the whole process easy and I would definitely recommend them. Whether it was helping to understand visa information or debriefing after interviews, I felt very supported each step of the way. During the interview process, Dream Nannies took time to really understand me and my preferences which led to me being placed with a great family. Once I arrived in the UK to begin work as an au pair, Tuuli was a great support and it was comforting knowing I always had someone to help me if needed.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
For me it was meeting the family and learning to live in a house with different routines. But over time I settled in as my family were really good at communicating and ensuring I felt supported. The company also checked in regularly so it really helped knowing I had someone to talk through things if needed.
Pros
  • Travelling to new places
  • Getting out of my comfort zone
  • Meeting new people
Cons
  • Homesickness
  • Exchange rate

Live in Au Pair Role

Dream Nannies made my process from Australia to the UK to work as a live in Au Pair go very smoothly! They made sure to keep in touch every step of the way, sent detailed emails with the process for me to follow, and made sure I made it over here with everything I needed. The process to finding a family was very thorough and I felt in control of who I would be with the whole time too. The staff, especially Tuuli, made sure I was comfortable with the families I talked to, and helped me to find a family who I loved, and who loved me too. I had a very positive experience with them, and would recommend them to others!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Honestly, probably booking that initial flight! After booking the flight from Australia over to England it became very real that I was leaving all my friends and family. I was okay though because I knew I had the support of everyone I knew at home, the staff at Dream Nannies, and from the family I would be moving over to live with.
Pros
  • Making new friends
  • Travelling to new countries
  • Learning about myself
Cons
  • Being away from family and friends
  • The time differences

Live in Nanny experience

I'm glad I went through Dream Nannies' au pair program. It was a great experience from the very beginging til the end. It was quick and proffesional and I was so lucky to match with an amazing family in such a short time. They have teammed up with the agency in London and have offered lots of great help before and after the arrival in the UK. They checked in with you and ensure you are okay and will be there if you need help. I would highly recommed this program if you are looking at starting Au Pair/Live in Nanny experience!

Dream Nannies

Dream Nannie’s were very helpful in finding me a family and giving me ongoing support and resources during the process of my visa and move to the UK. They have continued to send helpful links and recourses on how to settle it, places to visit and instructions for all the behind the scenes admin that is required when you move to a new country. I would recommend this program to anyone who enjoys working with children, travel and wants to experience life on other countries. Overall a great opportunity.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would do it sooner!
Pros
  • Adventure
  • Experiences
Cons
  • Paperwork
  • Leaving friends and family

Nannying

I highly recommend this organisation and this experience. I have just moved to the UK from Australia using dream nanny’s and I can not fault them. They have been incredibly helpful and I was matched with an amazing family in London. They really take the time and effort to make sure you find the right people. They were quick to respond and very good at communicating, they also take you through the steps of visas and make sure you have everything you need to make the move. Very grateful for this opportunity :)

Year away

This agency was really helpful when going over and arriving they help with visas and giving you all the information you need before you arrive. Once you arrived at the airport they check that you arrive safely and then and that your host family was there to pick you up . This reassured me that they were going to be there throughout the whole time I was in this year and reassured me that they took safety very seriously. Whenever I had a question it was always answered quickly and I felt like they were taking the time to care about me as an undervalue.
This time away from home helps to build value able skills such as communication, haveing the ability to go out in settings that you haven't been in before and giving you the confidence to do this and meet new people, time management and managing your money.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Meeting the family for the first time. I overcome this but putting trust in myself that I had picked a nice family and trust in the agensy that they had picked safe and welcoming families.
Pros
  • Meeting new people
  • Travel
  • Trying new and different foods
Cons
  • Being away from family and friends
  • Time differences
  • Not haveing a car to drive so haveing to take public transportation

nanny

I am excited about this new experience and Nanny Dreams was better than I imagined. Thanks a lot for everything. I am deeply passionate about working with children and have 3 of experience as a nanny. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of caring for children ranging in age from infants to pre-teens. My responsibilities have included [mention specific responsibilities such as preparing nutritious meals, organizing educational activities, and ensuring a safe and nurturing environment.

One of the aspects of nanny work that I find most rewarding is enjoyable daily routine, or encouraging creativity. I believe that open communication with parents is vital, and I am dedicated to maintaining a transparent and collaborative relationship with the families I work for.

Pros
  • Safety
  • confort
  • learner
Cons
  • free time
  • stop in my actual degree
  • to get my babies

Dream Nannies family pairing

I worked with Dream Nannies to be paired with a suitable au pair family.
I’ve now found a family I’d like to work with. The communication between all parties has been really efficient and thorough throughout with lots of information and helpful tips. Although I haven’t met the family yet, Dream Nannies seem to be a really good agency to set this up. I feel really prepared for going to meet the family now. I also like that they offer meet-ups and WhatsApp groups to find and socialise with other au pairs as it will be nice to find likeminded people.

Pros
  • Lots of help
  • Frequent and fast communication

Great Experience

Had a great experience using dream Nannie’s I would use again and recommend to my friends! Helped me from start to finish and found me a great family to work with and a great experience. Always followed up and made sure I was happy and if I needed anything further. Satia helped me find a family and the rest of the team followed up if needed they would always be so prompt to let me know anymore information or answer any of my questions. Thank you so much dream Nannie’s can’t wait to use you again in the future.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Have questions ready to ask the families and enjoy your time as it goes fast.

Au Pair 2018-2019

Dream Nannies was the first and last Au Pair agency that I have and ever will work for!
Jackie and her lovely team were so helpful and accommodating with pairing myself with the right family. They were so helpful with visas and the correct checks needed to become an au pair, as well as helpful pointers and information to get ready and settle in with the new family. I highly recommend becoming an au pair to everyone!! My whole experience was an amazing and unforgettable one, and memories I'll cherish forever.

What was your funniest moment?
My funnest moment, was water skiing with the children
