Who checks the Au Pair’s references?
We highly recommend that you ask for and check an Au Pair’s references before making a commitment to hire. If the Au Pair does not have previous Au Pair experience, ask for references from previous employers and/or teachers if they are recently out of school. You could also ask for a police clearance certificate from the au pair’s home country. If you are employing an American au pair, you can request that he/she obtain a child abuse clearance certificate.
