Cecilia Robinson wins 2012 Her Businesswoman of the Year

Au Pair Link's founder, Cecilia Robinson, has been named the 2012 Her Businesswoman of the Year.

Since Cecilia started Au Pair Link in 2006 the company has gone from strength to strength. Au Pair Link is now Australasia’s largest Au Pair agency and was the first Au Pair agency in the world to become licensed through the Ministry of Education as a home-based Early Childhood Education service.

Cecilia also is the winner of the Best SME category with her vision to create the largest Au Pair Agency in the world and New Zealand’s largest home-based Early Childhood Education provider. Cecilia was initially a winner with ‘Her Business Awards’ in 2009 winning the ‘Best new Business’ category.

Cecilia says, “It is truly an honour to accept these awards and I want to thank the judges and Her Business for their support. I also want to congratulate the other finalists – who are outstanding leaders and business women in their own right.”

“Most importantly I want to say a big ‘Thank You’ to the Au Pair Link team. I have the privilege of working in a business that has the most dynamic, driven and passionate group of individuals. The entire Au Pair Link team believe in our concept and put their heart and soul into the on-going success of the company. I also want to take a moment to say ‘Thank You’ to our customers – many of which have been with us since day one and who have continued to support our business through the years.”
