WHO WE ARE

WHO WE ARE

Europlacements has been established since 1993. We specialize in the recruitment of EMT (English Mother Tongue) tutors, nannies, child carers and maternity nurses.

WHERE WE ARE

Our offices are right behind the Duomo (main cathedral) in central Milan less than a five minute walk from both the red and yellow subway lines.

OUR STAFF

The proprietor/director of the agency is Jacqueline de Cristofaro (Jackie) who is Italo-American. She attended an International school and is bilingual. She is married and has two sons aged 16 and 12 years. She has therefore grown up and continues to live in a very bilingual environment. The idea of opening Europlacements stemmed from her role as a mom having to deal with nannies and teachers for her own family.

Since 2004 Samantha Van Eldik (Sam), Australian, manages the recruitment and placements of nannies and all international relations with our agents and colleges. She originally came to Italy in 2001 to work as a tutor. She has travelled extensively, is an active expat and has first hand experience and knowledge of being a foreigner in Italy.

Therefore, between the two of them you will always have an understanding and friendly ear to discuss your needs and queries.

OUR CLIENTS

The majority of our clients come from Italy. We also have families from continental Europe, England and internationally from South America and the U.S.A.

Our families are not only searching for their next “Mary Poppins” either on a full or part-time basis but also for someone who will introduce or improve their children’s level of English.

The knowledge of English as a second language is something that many of our families consider a necessity for their children in a globalised world. These families also acknowledge that English is considered the international language of communication and therefore a must for their children’s future careers.



OUR NANNIES

We actively recruit our child carers from English Mother Tongue countries. We particularly concentrate on Australia and New Zealand where we have our own network of interviewers and have direct contacts with nanny/childcare colleges and universities to recruit the best possible candidates for our clients. We also advertise locally in Milan, Italy and throughout Europe in general.

Due to the high and continuous demand for professional and competent child carers we are constantly searching for appropriate candidates. Due to this demand the creation of the Europlacements website will assist with an ever growing market that is fuelled by our existing clientele and our current high standard of child carers and teachers who generate our growth merely by their excellent reputation and word of mouth.

MISSION

To match the right family with the right nanny and vice-versa!

Also our irrenouncible principle is to interview all candidates either personally or through a network of interviewers.

To continue our role as intermediaries in Milan for education wherever English is concerned.

I didn't want to start a new thread just for this request, but I'm looking for exactly the reverse! I'm looking for an Italian Au Pair who would like to come to the UK. Does anyone have any good contacts or know of any Italian based Au Pair agencies they could recommend please?

Hi Europlacements-

I would be very intersted to know if there are any positions open in Florence? I have lots of experience in childcare (4+ years), am CPR certified, and would be very interested in sharing language knowledge while providing care. How would I go about looking into this further?

Thank you!

annaK - I'm not sure if they'll answer your post here since it seems they are just posting info.

Their website is www.europlacements.it

You can contact them there.
