How Locufy keeps you safe

  • ID checked, then deleted

    Photo ID checked against the person, then deleted — not stored.

  • Reviews only from real jobs

    Only booked jobs can be rated, by both sides.

  • Your number stays private

    Calls and messages run through Locufy once a booking is confirmed.

  • Ranked by real distance

    Au pairs ordered by how close they really are — never a county-wide list.

Near you

The au pairs nearest to you

Au Pair is local. Tell us where you are and we show who is in your area, their real hourly rate and how far away they are.

Where are you?

Results are ranked by real distance, so we need a place to start from. An Eircode is most accurate; a town or area works too.

The rate you see is the rate you pay

Credit makes it lower

Au pairs set their own hourly rates. Locufy Credit comes off that rate automatically when you book — no codes, and it doesn't expire. Every referral and every review adds more.

  • €10credit that lowers hourly service rates — sign up and download the app
  • €10per friend — both of you
  • €1for every review

To get your €10: sign up and download the Locufy app.

The credit lands in your account in the app and reduces your hourly rate.

Typically around 10% off the rate; the exact amount depends on the au pair.

What protects you

The checks behind every booking

What we do before you book, and what happens if something goes wrong.

  • They prove who they are

    Providers prove who they are with photo ID. We check it's really them — then the ID is deleted, not kept. The “ID checked” badge shows who has done it.

  • Garda vetting & references on request

    Badges on the profile show which ones a au pair has; the documents themselves are never published. Request them with one tap: if they're on file, they come straight to you.

  • Reviews with a make-it-right step

    Under four stars, you're asked first whether to send it to the au pair so they can put it right — and we follow it through. Sorted or not, you then leave whatever review you want.

  • Your number stays private

    Calls and messages open once a booking is confirmed and run through Locufy, so you never have to hand out your number — unless you want to.

  • No-show protection

    If a au pair doesn't turn up, it's recorded. Three no-shows and they're suspended from Locufy for six months.

  • Hours that are real

    Au pairs confirm their available hours every month, or they stop showing — so the people you see are actually taking work.

A au pair without the Garda vetting or reference badge hasn't failed anything — they just haven't added it yet. You can always ask them to.

We're new, and we won't pretend otherwise

No invented ratings or “trusted by thousands” here — reviews appear as real customers leave them (see us on Trustpilot). We are growing area by area. None in yours yet? Tell us where you are and our team will go and find someone.

An hourly service means you pay for the time you book, at a rate you can see before you book it. A quote means describing the job and waiting for a price. An hourly service suits recurring and open-ended work; a quote suits a defined job with a defined end.
