Hosting an au pair
can be a great way to lighten your load at home or help you
balance children, work and life!
It's both
inexpensive in comparison with other types of childcare or home
help, and can be an enriching experience for your children and
indeed the whole family - long term or for shorter periods like
school holidays.
An Aupair (or Au
Pair) lives as a friend in your family and acts as a nanny or
child carer in exchange for learning about your country and
language. An Aupair-Plus does works a little longer. This can be
a very economical, flexible and enjoyable way to arrange
childcare through the day and many services like those in the
boxes on this page and through this site
service allow you search and check out au pairs free of charge.
Once you have seen some candidates that you think will be
suitable make sure that you take up references directly -by
phoning their school or college as well as talking directly with
your au pair in order to
get to know them. Make sure you check out a few and use a range
of agencies like the ones above. This will help you to select your au pair
properly! You can then make
arrangements for your au pair to come. |
