About Us
Euro-placements has been established since 1993. We specialise in the recruitment of English Mother Tongue professionals in childcare and education, for families and schools in Italy and internationally.
The Agency is located right behind the Duomo (main cathedral) in the heart of Milan.
The proprietor/director of the agency is Jacqueline de Cristofaro who is Italo-American. She attended an International school and is bilingual. Jackie is married and has two sons aged 19 and 15 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, who is Australian, manages the recruitment and placements of nannies and all international relations with our agents and colleges. Sam 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 Mission at Euro-placements is to match the right candidate with the right school or private client and to assist all those who believe that English is an essential element in any student’s or child’s formative years.
