Energy au pair – Scandinavia au pair agency founded in 2001 in Norway. We successfully place au pairs in Norway, Denmark and Sweden for many years. Our mission is to find the Right Au Pair for the Right host family. The highest priority for us is to satisfy the expectations of both the family and the au pair.
Au pair insurance in Sweden
Applying for an au pair visa, the candidate should have valid insurance that meets all requirements of the Swedish authorities. We offer our customers help with buying insurance that covers all the requirements of "Migrationsverket". It is important that insurances contain all the requirements as it influences the decision about au pair’s visa.

Processing
Visa application waiting time for Au pair cases for non-EU citizens is approx. 4 months and it may change.
EU citizens do not need a residence permit and are allowed to move to the host family and work at any time. They just need to register.
We help coordinate the whole process; help with the paperwork, and support the family and au pair before and after arrival to Sweden.
For Host Families
You can communicate with a real person by telephone and ask for assistance during the search, au pairs placement process, and after your au pair comes to your family-
We offer privacy and total confidentiality. We guarantee that no personal information will be posted on our website, all contacts between au pairs and families can only be made through us, so you will not be contacted by anyone outside this agency and, of course, anyone who does not suit your requirements.
We have a large database of au pair candidates from many different countries, as well as trusted partners all over the world.
All new applicants are screened by us prior to being added to your list of possible candidates. We only use applicants with references that can be checked by the Agency or by the prospective host family, and most candidates have been interviewed before any introduction is made.
We encourage telephone interviews between potential applicants and host families (we recommend video calls via WhatsApp, Skype, Messenger, Facetime, Viber etc.)
We will make a contract between you and the au pair
We will help you with the rest of the "paperwork", and consult you and your au pair about the process (like ordering the required insurances)
We give the family a three-month replacement guarantee.
It costs nothing to try us! Families pay only if they reach an agreement with our candidate and decide to invite her/him.
