An Au Pair…
A Dream Au Pair is a young person from overseas who comes here to experience life in a Kiwi family, improve their English and explore Aotearoa.
Au Pairs help with childcare and housework in exchange for room, board and pocket money.
A Nanny…
A Dream Nanny cares for your children in your own home.
Our Nannies are experienced and often qualified. They will also help with meal preparation and light housekeeping duties.
Your Dream Nanny is employed by you at a mutually agreed hourly rate.

Cost of Childcare
An Au Pair lives with you in your home and their weekly rate includes room and board.
A Nanny is an employee and is paid an agreed hourly rate. Dream Nannies range from Bronze Nannies $25 per hour to Platinum Nannies at $33+ per hour. Please note that if you employ a Nanny you will also be responsible for ACC and KiwiSaver which works out to approx $1 extra per hour your Nanny works.
Please Note: Nanny pay rates are ultimately negotiated/determined by the Family/Employer and the Nanny/Employee. This is merely intended as a guide to help you determine a fair rate of pay.
A home-based Educator charges approximately $8 per child per hour.
Example
If you have a 1 year old and a 3 year old in Auckland and need 35 hours of childcare per week.
* Approximate Total Weekly Cost
| Au Pair | * $433 |
| Nanny | * $935 |
| Educator | * $480 |
