AU PAIRS
An AU PAIR is a young, single woman who lives in a foreign country with a host family. This is a wonderful way to learn about a new culture and language – first hand!

The AU PAIR lives with a family and helps care for the children as well as light housekeeping and some cooking.

In exchange for this help, the AU PAIR receives free room and board and pocket money of approximately $100 per week.

Hours ‘ on duty’ are maximum 35 per week. Weekends are usually free, but sometimes 2 other days per week is given free.

AU PAIR PLUS

The conditions are the same as AU PAIR, except the AU PAIR PLUS is ‘on duty’ about 36 to 39 hours per week Pocket money is from $125 per week.

MOTHERS HELPERS

A MOTHERS HELPER has the same conditions as AU PAIRS, except there is a much higher level of responsibility. She is ‘on duty’ from 40 to 50 hours per week. Weekends (or 2 other days) are usually free. Pocket money is from $150 per week.

The longer an au pair can stay, the easier it is to place her.

Most families prefer a 9 to 12 month (or longer ) stay. We can accommodate au pairs wishing to stay 6 to 9 months too.

SUMMERTIME PLACEMENTS

We do have 2 -3 month summer au pairs available.
