"We are so happy with our au pair, and are immensely grateful to Linguavision for helping us get there. Sophie followed up with me when the au pair application languished on my To Do pile, she listened to my concerns, shared her experiences and matched us with the appropriate au pair. Since Naomi has joined our family, I am enjoying my children and life more than ever. All I can do is wonder Why did it take me so long to decide to get an au pair?!"

“I am a first time Mum of two 7 months old beautiful boys, Mattia and Aidan. When the boys were just 4 months old we had another stroke of luck and that was our new au pair, Cornelia.

Of course we had our ambivalence about finding the right au pair for our twins, but found, that after contacting Linguavision our doubts were erased. We very much appreciated the company’s integrity, professionalism and customer service.

We had a few phone calls with Sophie and felt she was really going out of her way to find the most appropriate match for our family. Cornelia was the first person who was suggested. After speaking with her on the phone and reading about her experience, we decided she would be the right person for the twins.

We have found Cornelia to be a quick learner, fun, responsible and a very loving person. As we all know, to have twins has its own challenges and can be extremely stressful at times. I am 100% sure that having an au pair to be part of our family has only created more joy and less stress in our home environment. My only complaint is that Cornelia will return to Europe to continue her studies.

I have no doubt that Linguavision will do their very best to find us another wonderful au pair. Perhaps this time speaking Italian as the boys’s Dad is Italian and we would love them to grow up bilingual. Thank you Linguavision!”

"With the impending arrival of our third child close behind number two, we decided some extra help at home would be a good idea. I found Linguavision on the internet and Sophie organized a girl, Caroline, to come and live with us.. It has been the best decision we’ve ever made!! Sophie was lovely to deal with and understood our needs very well. Caroline has fitted really well into our family and having her here means we don’t have to drag three children everywhere (our oldest child is at school and has lots of after-school activities). Caroline has formed a lovely relationship with all the children and has been very easy to have in our house, helping with all the cleaning, washing and cooking as well as helping look after the kids.  Linguavision has been great in helping Caroline meet other au pairs and she has formed a really good network of friends. We supplied Caroline with a train pass so she has the freedom to get out and about and explore our fabulous city.  I’m not sure how we would have coped without Caroline’s help…her presence has meant our household is a happy, organised one instead of being frantic and overwhelmed! We have convinced her to stay on for an additional 3 months and then will hopefully be getting another au pair… although it will be very sad to say goodbye to Caroline."
