In association with Kidspot, Au Pair Link (New Zealand’s leading and largest au pair agency) is proud to continue its sponsorship of the award. Au Pair Link’s General Manager, Casey Muraahi, says the awards are a great way to spread the word but also provide a real sense of gratitude to the au pairs who visit New Zealand.

“We hear stories every day that quite often have our team reaching for the box of tissues, simply because you can really sense the heartfelt appreciation that our families have, not for our team, but for their au pairs and the way they are with their little ones. It’s really what makes running an au pair agency worthwhile, there’s nothing quite like it!”

In 2012, the winner of the New Zealand Au Pair of the Year Award, Femke Meyer, who matched with a Christchurch family through Au Pair Link, went on to win the International Au Pair Association’s grand prize, presented at their annual conference in Rome.
