I can say that I have known Elisabeth for many years. Thanks to her agency, my adventure in the UK began and today she is still a point of reference for me.
I have contacted her again, some time later, and her willingness to meet my request was immense, as well as really very valuable to me.
To anyone who wants to have an experience abroad, I recommend contacting her… you will not be disappointed

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.
Thanks to Celtic Childcare aupairs I lived my Irish dream! I had never volunteered before but it was the best choice I could have made. Doing volunteer work abroad gave me the opportunity to enrich my personal, linguistic and cultural knowledge. I fully immersed myself in everyday life by living with a host family and sharing the experience with students who came from various corners of Europe and with whom I spent wonderful days discovering the enchanting landscapes and local traditions that I will always carry in my heart.
Relying on this agency with such a presence in Italy and Ireland was a guarantee, both in preparing for the trip and as support once we arrived.
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.
Ho avuto l’opportunità di svolgere un tirocinio presso Celtic Childcare e mi sono trovata benissimo. Elizabeth è una persona fantastica, che mi ha aiutato molto e insegnato moltissime cose.
Vi consiglio tantissimo questa agenzia per poter partire e fare un’esperienza indimenticabile, in quanto è un’agenzia seria che vi aiuterà in ogni passo per partire e godervi al meglio l’esperienza da au Pair!
I travelled to Italy for 3 months as an au pair. My experience had it’s ups and downs and I would like to share them with you. First off, my review of the Celtic Child Care Agency is great. They were there for me when I needed them and helped me with everything. This was my first time being an au pair and when I read the reviews when I was deciding on becoming an au pair, all experiences were great. Throughout my experience I learned a lot, I became more independent in myself and over came many obstacles.
I have never bussed or trained before in Canada, so going to live in Italy for three months, was a big change because I had to bus and train everywhere. Not only the transportation but the culture is a big change as well. I worked with two families during the three months. In my opinion, both families are very child orientated.
I stayed with a family for the first month, and a different family for the last two months.
I had some communication issues with the first family, like for the month of July- we went to the family’s sea side and I was not told that I was not allowed to stay at the sea side on weekends which caused a huge issue because I had to leave and also transport to Turin city at my own expense which cost about 40 euros in total for one weekend- which is almost half my pay just for transportation). This is where Celtic Child Care Agency helped me a lot. I was able to stay at a place thanks to them, which I was very grateful for.
I did have fun, learned a lot, and got to travel on the weekends- going to places such as Rome, Milan, Venice, cinque terre, etc. I got to meet other au pairs at hostels and made new friends. I got to spend my time at the beach at their sea side with the two girls. But there can be ups and downs and I just want people to know- looking into this- that sometimes it isn’t perfect.
Celtic Child Care Agency helped me when I needed a place to stay and when I needed to switch families.
It was a good experience, and like I said before, I truly learned a lot. If you are reading this and want to message me, please do! I am very open

.I just finished an amazing nine weeks au pairing in Italy. Elizabeth’s help in finding me a suitable family and ensuring my compatibility and comfort was invaluable. I highly recommend going through Celtic childcare as my experience was definitely made a lot easier knowing I had their support.
It was June and I decided to leave from Milan, to London like an aupair, for July and September, 2 months . I probably was in late to do this experience, but they have been able to find such a beautiful and amazing family for me .
They helped me in every question I had and were always available for me .
I really recommend this Agency and I ‘m going to live another experience like this one.
Thank you so much Miss. Elizabeth !!!
I relied on Celtic childcare for this experience and I must say that it was more than the right choice! professional and fast, they gave me the opportunity to go to Norway, open my horizons and do something I had wanted to accomplish for a long time!
An unforgettable experience!!!
highly recommended
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 
I have just returned home after 3 months au pairing in Bergamo, Italy. Great base to travel from, friendly atmosphere, scrumptious food and a beautiful city. Miss it greatly!!! Truly an amazing experience and made so easy with the support from Elizabeth. She is very welcoming, helpful in organizing everything, checking in and putting you in touch with other au pairs. Thank you!
I will preface this by saying that I trusted the agency blindly because this experience came about as much by chance as out of curiosity. But after 4 months in Germany I can say that I would gladly do it again, even though I am only at the “beginning.”
Mediation by the agency has been and still is essential, for any smallness the director has advice or an answer. The project is good especially because you are followed and supported, I dare not imagine what it is like to undertake such an adventure without some support. I highly recommend everyone to have an experience like this, which can change you for the better as a person, but most of all further open your mindset.
Have I already said that I recommend it? 
I had the opportunity to do an internship at Celtic Childcare aupairs’ office in Turin. Elizabeth, the owner, is a really caring person. She does her work with seriousness and she is always available for any problem and clarification. I definitely can say that aupairs and families can trust this agency.
This past summer, I spent 3 incredible months au pairing in Torino, Italy. The family, the city and the culture were beyond lovely and I miss all of it so dearly. Elizabeth was very kind, considerate and she made it easy for me to get in touch with other au pairs. This experience was nothing but positive and I am so thankful for all the support I got, in order to make me feel welcome and at home. Thanks again for everything!
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

To these three wonderful children. This was a life time experience that I will always hold close to my heart. Throughout this journey, I realized that I am on the right path in building my career Thank you Giovanni, Maria Laura and Vittorio for a wonderful summer! I will miss you so much 
Turin, Italy is now one of my favorite cities. I worked as a live out tutor/babysitter and it was so easy to find clients because Celtic Childcare gave me so many connections. All the families were very pleasant and I learned a lot about Italian culture from being with them. So grateful for the help of Celtic Childcare.
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.”
Hi Thank you for everything. Valentina and the kids have welcomed me with open arms and the kids are so easy to love. Im enjoying the weather, kids, beach, and hospitality valentina bestows on me. Thank you.”
