Celtic ChildCare operates with clear principles that guarantee safety, reliability, and quality in every experience, both for those departing and those hosting.
We carefully select every candidate and every host family, providing complete information and constant support. We believe that mutual trust is the foundation of every positive experience.
We promote the knowledge of different languages, traditions, and cultures. Every Au Pair program is designed to enrich participants and families through authentic and engaging experiences.
We believe in the importance of growing together: young people learn responsibility, autonomy, and intercultural skills, while families develop open-mindedness and new ways of experiencing daily life.
From the first contact until the end of the experience, we offer continuous support and clear guidelines, ensuring that every journey is safe, organized, and without surprises.
