Scotia Personnel Ltd, Halifax, NS

Scotia Personnel Ltd was incredible with helping me through my process of becoming an Au Pair in America. I was an Au Pair from 2020-2022, and Scotia Personnel helped me through the visa process, the application process, the interview process, etc. The constant support they showed me, and encouragement I received set me up for confidence and eagerness towards my adventure in America. Shoutout to Richelle and Marilyn, as she worked closely with me and never made me feel overwhelmed or anxious, she made the process so smooth and I can't thank her enough! My experience abroad was life changing! Scotia Personnel is definitely there to help you achieve your dreams!!

My new latest adventure and my new adventure that is coming up.   To whoever is planning to go all I can say is just go you will fall in love with your Adventure!   I am Hailey from Canada and I want to tell you about my new experiences working with Scotia personnel in Canada and my upcoming experience in the USA. I have gone to so many places (Netherlands, Italy, China) and the next one is California! Right now I am working in Canada through Scotia Personnel, looking after a baby in Toronto and we have moved to Halifax for a few months. I have loved my time working with this family. Now for my next adventure in October I'm going to Silverdale California in the States with Scotia Personnel and I'm extremely excited to go there and meet the American family. I can’t wait to go camping, hitting the beach and I want to go to Disneyland! As a young person it would be silly not to go and explore another wonderful country with truly kind people!!   When I started Scotia Personnel first I went as an au pair to the Netherlands, then I worked with a family in Italy. I made great connections and made so many friends. It was a wonderful experience there so I thought it'd be great to continue working with Scotia. I then joined the China program and it was so much fun, I made so many friends like I met people who were from Netherlands, Italy Germany United States, I found some wonderful people when we all met with in the same program. I was there for about 10 months and honestly I could never find enough new things there’s always something to check out. Then it was back to work in Canada and next the USA!     I truly loved my whole time there all the places and the people. All of it has truly touched my heart!

The Scotia Personnel team are so fantastic! From the beginning to the very end they were there to answer any questions I had with a smile on. I first was contacted by Richelle (who's amazing) and she has really helped me with everything. Marilyn is also really helpful and knowledgable. The team is professional, punctual, and really friendly making them the perfect company to pair with for this experience. My au pair trip was the best decision I've ever made and it wouldn't have been possible without them. I would really urge anyone who wants to be an au pair to go through an agency for at least the first time. Because I had such an amazing experience, I would like to work for an agency myself one of these days and help others to accomplish their goals. Thank you so much Scotia Personnel, you've changed my life!

I’ve only been with Scotia Personnel a short while but I have to say, from both a parents perspective and a nanny’s perspective, this is a company you want to work with. Regardless, whether it’s a nanny position, daycare teachers position or other, the staff at Scotia Personnel is both friendly and knowledgeable. It was divine intervention at a turning point in my career, that the first family I interviewed for, hired me. We are so compatible, I feel like a family member and Scotia Personnel is responsible for that.

Hi I am Hailey, I am 23 from Canada and I want to tell you about my experiences in 2018 and 2019 working with Scotia Personnel. I started last year when I went to the Netherlands first and then I went to Italy. I was an au pair and I made great connections with people, I made so many friends, it was a wonderful experience there so I thought it'd be great to continue working with them. So I then joined the China program and I was in China for about almost 10 months. I started January and I just got home October 6th and the whole time it was amazing and new. I went through all the recommendations for picking up proper host family and I found the best one for me. I could I truly love them and I continue to stay connected with them, and I plan on going to Australia with them too because we created such an excellent relationship in China. And if your idea is to build relationships and bonds that will last a long time and then you should choose Scotia Personnel because not only do you get to work with great people but you get great friends along the way…. you meet them, you talk to them, you share stories. I am still messaging with them in China, because it's still nice talking, sending them photos, catching up the exact same way I would with my friends back in Canada. So I definitely give them as many stars as possible because they are great and they truly care about their job, to make sure our experience is wonderful and wholesome so I hope you join their team and continue travelling cuz it be lovely to meet you along the way. You always meet new Au Pairs and I made friends from England, America, Germany as well as in China… there so many people in the program that are from different countries but we're been brought together the same reason, to make friends to learn more see the world. So good luck travelling in the future and hope to meet you on the road!
