Ireland
Country hiring focus: host families
Use this country context before shortlisting candidates or publishing your hiring profile.
Ireland searches often focus on Dublin, Cork, Galway, commuter towns, and rural family homes, so transport, school runs, household rhythm, and availability windows should be compared carefully.
In Ireland, calling someone an au pair does not by itself remove employment rights. Host families should decide whether the arrangement is an employment relationship and, where it is, follow the Workplace Relations Commission rules for domestic workers before agreeing duties, hours, or pay.
Write down childcare and household duties, the weekly schedule, rest, pay, board, and lodging; do not present regular domestic work as an unpaid room-and-board exchange.
Where employment law applies, provide written terms and payslips, record hours, and follow the current minimum-wage, leave, break, and average working-time rules.
Confirm the candidate’s right to work before travel, then state the Irish location, live-in setup, dates, transport, and school routine clearly in the family profile.
