The Au Pair mission

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).
