About Us

_

Discover the benefits of having extra help at home. Free up your time to spend more time with your children, manage family life, exchange cultures and build new friendships.

The GENKI FAMILIES programme is designed for au pairs and demi pairs who want to work for and live with an Australian family while they follow their language studies or work part-time in Perth.

At GENKI FAMILIES we understand that an ‘extra hand’ can be beneficial to the parents. It can also be a positive experience for children who love the extra attention and who may also gain from learning about new cultures. At GENKI FAMILIES we aim to provide the best possible service for both the au pairs and the families.

Genki Families at present provides au pairs and demi pairs mostly from Japan. This may change in the future.

Au pair means ‘on par’ or living on an equal basis in a reciprocal relationship between the host family and a young person from a different country. A demi pair and an Au pair work 18 hours a week with housework and childcare, in exchange for accommodation and meals. We also offer homestay programmes for families wishing for a more cultural experience.

Register your interest today to become a host family by calling Michelle on 0414459475 or by emailing genkifamilies@iinet.net.au

Our Happy Clients

Laws Family
We have had Genki Family Demi Pairs for 3 years now. Without fail each young woman (there have been 7) has become a beloved part of our family. We love the Japanese culture and their gentle, thoughtful and patient manner with children. I think the biggest reason for having a demi pair is so that my husband and I can breathe a sigh of relief. Help is here. With our delightful demi pair helping me each afternoon/evening my husband can relax and not rush frantically home from work – yes, its witching hour, but there is help. And I can relax, knowing that there is support with bath time, PJ’s, meal preparation, dinner, tidying, tantrums, cuddles and bed time.
We have a loving family here in Perth, but they’re not nearby and they are not able to help with child care. It makes a world of difference having someone in our home who can watch the kids while I pop out to the shops, or pharmacy, take one child to the doctor or take a half an hour’s sanity break. The early years with young children are wonderful and tough. Young kids are loving, cuddly, funny, sweet, curious, full of energy and generally delightful.
They’re also intense, needy, demanding and relentless. I feel that having a demi pair in our home gives our family and particularly my husband and me the best chance of enjoying these amazing years, no regrets. THANK YOU!
Rose Family
We have been using “Genki Families’ for nearly 4 and a half years and I can truly say that every Genki Girl we have had join our family has been outstanding. We are a very busy household and the assistance that these girls provide is instrumental in helping to make our days run as smoothly as possible.
We have thoroughly enjoyed the cultural experiences our girls have brought to our family and we can only hope that each girl has enjoyed their time with us, as much as we’ve enjoyed having them. We sincerely thank Michelle and her team for providing such a brilliant service. Highly recommend!!
David and Nadia Sierakowski
Thank you Genki Families for finding us an au pair so quickly. Your screening process, of both our family and the au pair, ensured that you found the perfect fit for us. We were so happy with our au pair who was a wonderful, trust worthy, kind and gentle girl who became an integral part of our family while she was with us, and a friend beyond that time. We would have no hesitation in recommending your service to anyone looking for an au pair
