What is an Au Pair

An au pair is a young person between 18 and 30 years who becomes a temporary member of your family. Usually, it's a young girl (90 percent) but more and more often, young boys are taking the opportunity to improve their language skills and get acquainted with a new culture.  

In exchange for free board and lodging, a private room and pocket money (in the western European countries between 200 and 280 Euros per month (140 and 170 pounds), the au pair will take care of your children and help with light housework including vaccuming, dusting, preparing the table for meal times and emptying the dishwasher. The costs for flight and language courses are usually paid by the au pair.

The term au pair is French which means on equal terms.
