Au Pair Extraordinaire is a Johannesburg-based au pair, tutor and babysitter placement agency which prides itself on sourcing high-calibre, motivated, reliable and dedicated candidates.

All candidates attend a personal interview with us, are comprehensively screened and references are checked. Only those who meet our strict criteria will be suggested to families.

Parents can have complete peace of mind that their children are in the most capable hands. It is compulsory for candidates to attend a Powerful Techniques Workshop, presented by Educational Psychologist, Ilze van Der Merwe, where they are empowered with the skills necessary to ensure nurturance, understanding and intellectual stimulation of every child.

Ilze Van der Merwe is an Educational Psychologist and Director of Bella Vida Centre, specialising in working with children, adults and families.

She has a passion for empowering people, young and old, with the skills necessary to live fulfilling lives.
