More au pairs for Kiwi homes In-home childcare provider, Porse, has teamed up with Au Pair Link to bring more au pairs into Kiwi households. Porse General Manager Kerry Henderson says a partnership with Au Pair Link gives more families access to au pairs throughout New Zealand. “We are very excited about the partnership and being able to offer families more choice in the home-based childcare sector.” Au Pair Link General Manager Casey Muraahi says Porse has 62 more licences so families across the country will have wider access to au pairs. “We can now reach out to families nationwide and in some of the more remote areas. We receive
weekly enquiries from families outside of our licensed areas. It is exciting that we are now able to meet these demands, especially at a time where hundreds of au pairs are looking for host families.” Through the partnership, all au pairs will take part in a threeday orientation, including first aid training, an ECE curriculum workshop, positive child guidance, and a driving in New Zealand course.

The partnership also has benefits for existing families and au pairs, with the opportunity to share Porse’s services such as playgroups, events, resources, and professional development.
“As a midwife I work irregular hours, so I need someone who can live with us and be there for the children when I race off at short notice,” explained Rhonda. “Justine is amazing and fits perfectly with our family. I’m confident she’s able to step into my shoes and take charge whenever I’m on call. She’s part of our family – when I head out the door to work the kids just say ‘See you, Mum’.”
