Be an au pair

Becoming an Au pair means choosing a safer and more affordable way to travel while acquiring new skills.

What does it mean to be an au pair?

Becoming an Au Pair provides you with the opportunity to travel and discover new cultures by living with a foreign family.

You have your own bedroom and a private or shared bathroom, you follow language courses and earn money.

In exchange you have to look after the children around 25hours per week with a minimum of 1 day off per week.

You have plenty of free time to discover the country and meet new friends. You have one week paid holiday every 3 months.

To be an au pair is to accompany children in everyday tasks such as taking them to school and extra-curricular activities, helping with homework, babysitting, bathing and light household tasks (emptying the dishwasher, preparing meals and dealing with the children's laundry).
