GENERAL INFORMATION

FOR APPLICANTS

 FOR FAMILIES

If you are a family looking for an Au Pair, Mother's Help, Nanny,Housekeeper, or Companion - Carer for the Elderly, my Domestic Staff and au Pair Agency can help you!

How I can help you find your Au Pair

Norma Lewis Domestic Staff Agency places both Male and Female long-term Au Pairs applicants, as well as Summer Placements.

I have an understanding from the Client's viewpoint as to what it is you need from an Au Pair - as a working Mother with grown up children, I have myself benefited from having Au Pairs for many years.

Some of these Au Pairs are still in contact with my family some 20 years later, and are now married with chidren of their own!

All the Au Pairs put forward to you are interviewed and vetted,either by myself, or one of my Agents. My Au Pairs have ID checks, References (which have also been checked and verified), a Medical Certificate to show a clean bill of health, and a Police Certificate to prove that they have no criminal record in their own country.

As a Parent myself, I am always aware that an Au Pair is another Parent's son or daughter, and like to ensure that the Au Pair is treated accordingly. I feel it very important that the Au Pairs are treated well by their Host Families, and therefore take time to explain the Home Office Guidelines covering the Au Pair Scheme to both Parties.

By taking this time to ensure that each Party understands what is expected of the other, the Au Pair should settle well into life with your Family.

My aim is to find the right Au Pair for you, and the right Family for the Au Pair! To apply for an Au Pair click  here

How I can help you find your Nanny/ Mother's Help

All candidates put forward by Norma Lewis Domestic Staff Agency are interviewed and vetted personally, and have references and CRB checks. (If the CRB has not yet been sent through, you will be informed).

Once you are registered with me, I can put forward a suitable Applicant to you, and arrange for you to interview your prospective Nanny.

If you wish, I can also provide you with suggestions for the type of questions that you may like to ask her on this interview, and give guidance on salary levels.

Then, after I have placed a Nanny with your Family, I can provide you with all the information you need to deal with your new payroll and tax liabilities.

I can even find a way to help you get some of your costs paid by the Government!

Additionally,if you wish, I can give you an idea of how to draw up a contract of employment for your new Nanny.

Need any help AFTER the Au Pair, Mother's Help,Nanny or Housekeeper or Companion - Carer is placed?

With the best will in the world, sometimes problems may arise once the successful applicant starts his /her placement with your Family. (This can happen especially in the case of language / communication difficulties).

In these instances, should you need any assistance or mediation between yourself and your Au Pair, Mother's Help or Nanny,then I am only a 'phone call away.

Additionally, I maintain regular contact with my Families through informative newsletters (sent by e -mail).
