Our agency
Celtic Childcare is an agency that has been operating since 1997 and is based in Turin; it is a member of the International Au Pair Association and a founding member of the Italian National Au Pair Agency Association.
Celtic Childcare was created to encourage young people to a cultural exchange between countries, giving them the opportunity of being welcomed in a family carefully selected by us. The agency offers Italian families the possibility to host in their homes young people coming from different cultures and countries (native speakers of English, Italian, French, German and Spanish), who want to embark on this experience, an experience that will enrich children, au-pairs and parents.

Living a year in Ireland was the best experience I could have had!
On the first day there someone told me ‘what is different is neither beautiful nor ugly, it is different,’ and this phrase accompanied me throughout the rest of my experience.
When I left I did not know what to expect, I had never been to Ireland or even to a host family, but I was very open and curious to welcome all that would come, and very soon I fell in love with both Ireland and the people I met there, created many memories and made friendships that I still carry with me today.
Life in a host family may not always be easy, you become part of a new reality that will become your new home and you have to get used to it, but my host family welcomed me with open arms from day one and for that I cannot thank them enough.
I’ve just finished my time au pairing for 3 months in a small town in Italy and had a great time! Elizabeth was so helpful in helping me find my host family, with the visa process and being quick to reply and help with any problems that arose. She also got me in touch with other au pairs from around the area which was very helpful to meet other people. I would definitely recommend Celtic Childcare Aupairs
My experience was great, I would repeat it tomorrow I tell you the truth! I would be very pleased to talk with you about it. Best regards,
This summer I went with Celtic Childcare for three weeks. I worked as a volunteer in a clothing store in the small town of Killarney and it was a wonderful experience. At first I was feeling a little homesick, and unfortunately the first family I had to go to had taken the Covid. Despite this initial hiccup Elizabeth was very supportive, and I was assigned to a new host family who took me in like a son. The thing that amazed me most about Ireland is the hospitality and welcome of the Irish, it sounds cliché but it really is. The work environment was very relaxed and I got on well with my colleagues right away, they were always helpful and we established a good relationship. Despite the work I still had time to go out and visit new places! The environment, even though Killarney is small, was quite international and I met many people from different parts of the world, especially from Spain. Immersed in this environment my English improved a lot in a short time.
I am writing to thank you for the wonderful experience that I had partly because of you and your agency. I returned yesterday after two months that gave me so much on a linguistic level and also on a human level…getting to know a wonderful family who treated me like a daughter, a sister and expanding my vocabulary, expanding my knowledge of English. Thank you very much because you made it all possible.”
Celtic Child Care and Elizabeth, the owner, have a special place in my heart because they allowed me to have a safe and groundbreaking experience abroad first as an au pair, and then as an Italian citizen living abroad. In particular, I am very grateful to them for two reasons: (a) at first, they helped me when I didn’t know anyone; (b) years later, Elizabeth was able to support my application for a job I really cared about because of her archives and unquestioned professionalism. I don’t think any website offers such a service. Highly Recommended Agency
Hi Elizabeth, the experience in Ireland went very well, thank you for helping me, I am at your disposal, if you want to call me.
