The Basics

What is the Connection Service?

It's our full-service program for families starting completely fresh, with no previous agency and no au pair already chosen. From your very first enquiry, we take the lead and walk beside you the whole way.

Starting fresh

No prior agency and no candidate in mind. This service is built precisely for first-time host families exploring all their options.

We find your match

We get to know your family, then search our network and screen suitable au pairs, presenting a shortlist for you to interview and choose.

Every document handled

From contracts to visas and all immigration paperwork, we complete it for you, so your au pair arrives smoothly and on time.

Good to know: Already have an au pair in mind, or coming from another agency? You may only need our lighter support service. Get in touch and we'll point you to the right path.

Important Update — Philippine Au Pair Contracts

The Philippine Embassy in the Netherlands has announced that, starting 1 July 2026, the notarisation of au pair contracts for Filipino nationals will be suspended pending a review of the au pair programme.

Sunshine Au Pair remains fully operational as an IND-recognised sponsor, with active recruitment across 20+ nationalities. We’re working closely with host families and candidates through this transition.
