For families in Centurion
Find an au pair in Centurion.
Suburban, family-first, and easy to reach from both cities.
Centurion, with Irene, Eldoraigne, Wierdapark, Rooihuiskraal, Highveld and the estates along the N1, is one of Gauteng's most family-oriented areas. Two-income households commuting to Pretoria or Johannesburg make afternoon au pair care standard.
The Gautrain station and the N1 keep Centurion connected, and the area's schools and sports clubs sit close together, which keeps the school run manageable.
