An affordable child care option
Hosting an Au Pair in your home is one of the most affordable forms of childcare available. By hosting an Au Pair, you will get support in childcare and household chores with a very affordable cost. In return, you will provide the Au Pair with free language course, board and lodging at your home, and pocket money.
Flexible live-in child care
Au Pairs provide your children with personal care in the familiar environment of your home. Your Au Pair will arrange her weekly working hours to fit your own schedule. In addition to caring for your children, an Au Pair can also assist you with household responsibilities, such as preparing your children's meals and helping them to keep their rooms neat, as well as driving them to and from school, appointments, and activities.
English skill improvement
By hosting an English speaking Au Pair from other country, it lets children to get used to English language at home and to have more courage to speak English.
Why hosting an Au Pair?
What is expected from an Au Pair?
Cultural interaction
An Au Pair should be willing to share with the host family, especially the children, what life is like in his/her country. Even teaching the children a bit of the language is encouraged. Children typically respond well to this type of interaction, and it helps them to understand how the world is different in different places.
Childcare support
Child care is defined by the parents and may include diaper changing, bathing, dressing, and transportation to and from school, feeding, playing, and general interaction.
Household chores
Light housework. This means that the Au Pair keeps her/his personal space neat and tidy, does her/his own laundry, shares the duty of laundry with the host family (as reasonable), and shares with the host family the job of keeping the area used by the children neat and tidy, as well as her/his own space.
What are NOT an Au Pair task?
Au Pairs are NOT expected to do a heavy household chores and work more than the working hours limit according to the country Au Pair Scheme. Au Pair is NOT a Housemaid / Cleaning Lady.
