Au Pair Programme
Our Au Pair Programme
An Au Pair is a young adult between 18 and 30 years of age who travels to a foreign country and lives with a host family, is a new member of the family who minds the children and does light housework. The programme gives the Au Pair an opportunity to enjoy the local culture and learn the language. In return, the Au Pair receives free-board and lodging, and pocket money.
Au Pair should be given the opportunity to attend a language course and socialise in order to improve their language skills.
The Au Pair is not a professional childminder nor a housekeeper.
