GOALS
Going as an Au Pair is a very rewarding experience both personally and professionally. It's a unique experience!
A Young Au Pair is a person aged between 18 and 30 who decides to go abroad for linguistic purposes but also in order to take care of children and live with a foreign family for a period generally between 6 months and 12 months. The Au Pair will earn pocket money for the work provided, the amount of pocket money varies depending on the destination. In addition, the Young Au Pair must be able to perform some light household chores. One of the main objectives of Au Pairs is to take care of the children of the family (preparing meals, dropping the children off at school in the morning and picking them up in the evening, playing with them, helping with the baths and homework...) It is important to remember that an Au Pair is not a cleaner! Au Pairs should spend time with their Host Family and be involved in their role. When the Au Pair is not taking care of the children, he is free to take language lessons, go out with friends, visit the city...
