What is a host family?
A host family is the family where the au pair is going to live with. You welcome a boy or a girl for the length of their stay. In return, they help you with childcare and some light household chores, he or she provides you with real support on a daily basis. Our role is to help you find the best au pair according to your needs. Find out the conditions to welcome an au pair.
Why should I hire an au pair?
The au pair lives with you (between 2 months and 1 year) and becomes a full member of the family, a big brother or sister for your children. You can make a trust relationship with the au pair by living with him/her. The youth can share his/her culture to your kids, teach them a new language, etc. It is a great experience for both the family and the au pair. Find out who our au pairs are.
