Things To Consider For Hosting An Aupair/GYMPY:
The host family will provide the GYMPY with:

The first 15 working hours are in exchange for your meal and accommodation (bills, internet) as part of a cultural exchange programme. A GYMPY should also be provided with a private, fully equipped bedroom.

Highly recommend!!Posted on Google CelineTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Before I started my Au Pair placement, my main concern was whether I would settle in well with my host family and whether I would make friends quickly in a new country. Looking back, however, these worries were unfounded. I was able to make friends quickly, as Irene ensures that the au pairs get to know one another. This led to me forming some great friendships, which I really appreciated during my time as an Au Pair. Throughout the whole process, I felt well prepared and supported. Communication was always straightforward and I felt well prepared for the interviews and everything that followed. This made the start much easier for me. All in all, my Au Pair experience in Australia with 99AuPairs was the best decision I could have made. It was an unforgettable time that I will always look back on fondly, and I would definitely recommend 99AuPairs. My advice to other Au Pairs would be to approach the experience with an open mind and not to worry too much. At the same time, it’s important to communicate your expectations and wishes openly right from the start. My personal tip would be to make the most of every opportunity to meet new people and to try things you might not have done at home. It’s precisely these experiences that make your time abroad so special in the end:)Posted on Google P GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very happy with this agency and can highly recommend them. There is always a contact person available who responds quickly, supports you, and helps whenever needed, which made me feel very comfortable and well looked after throughout the whole process. They really take my individual wishes and preferences into account and put a lot of effort into finding the right match. I am very happy with the family I am currently working with and overall had a really positive experience. Thank you for all your support!Posted on Google Isla BegbieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend 99 Au Pairs highly enough! Since signing up in May 2025, they have supported me in more ways than I ever expected. The entire process is professional, seamless, and incredibly easy, making it stress-free to find the right family and position. What stands out most is how well they match nannies and families. Every placement I have received through 99 Au Pairs has been an excellent fit, and it’s clear that they take the time to understand the needs and preferences of everyone involved rather than simply filling positions. Irene has been absolutely wonderful throughout my experience. She is friendly, approachable, efficient, and always willing to help. Her communication is fantastic, and she genuinely cares about ensuring both nannies and families are happy with their matches. Her attention to detail and dedication makes the whole experience feel personal and supported. Whether you are an experienced nanny, just starting out in childcare, or a family looking for reliable and trustworthy care, I would wholeheartedly recommend 99 Au Pairs. Their professionalism, personalised approach, and exceptional support truly set them apart. I am incredibly grateful for all their help and would not hesitate to use their services again in the future.Posted on Google Joann WilkieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been working with 99aupairs for about a year now. I'm so glad I found Irene and her crew! I'm a single mum and we were about to move across the country. I was concerned about finding any au pair, let alone one that would be able to manage the quirkiness of our lives. Because of the special requirements for our family, I did quite a bit of online research looking for an au pair agency to work with. 99aupairs stood out for me for three key reasons: 1) their experience with finding support for children with disabilities, 2) they understood the realities of mothers who work full-time, 3) there was a full-service, full lifecycle commitment to supporting the au pair and the family. Our experience with 99aupairs has been wonderful. Irene and her team have found us four amazing young women to become "young, cool aunts" in our home. The thing I have appreciated most is that Irene and her crew are there as a backup support for me and for our au pair. They have helped us get through the inevitable hiccups that happen during the initial getting-to-know-you period. And they have smoothed out the disruptive process of changing over au pairs. I'm so glad I found 99aupairs and reached out to work with them.
Our process is efficient and easy, and you can expect support throughout your placement.
