Most Au Pair jobs are for women but we place a few men. You should have some knowledge of the language. Above all, you must like being with children. Mornings are free to attend classes. Weekends are usually free.
Duties consist of light housekeeping and child care.
Free room and board plus a salary can make Europe a reality for students who could not otherwise afford to go. Au Pairs are not considered to be domestic help and they are included in family activities. Their stay is intended to be an educational one. For 1 to 3 months you can take language courses and live with a family. You will pay the family directly for the private room and for meals, unless you prefer to eat out.
