An au pair lives abroad with a host family, taking care of the children and often supporting with housekeeping. John Prince, the director of Au Pair in Europe explains Au Pairs do not punch a time clock in a factory, and a little extra effort is often rewarded by a host family a placement service that assists Canadians and Americans and sometimes individuals from other countries obtain au pair positions abroad. The nature of the job sometimes leads to extra travel or cultural experiences unavailable to tourists.
The length of an au pair assignment differs; some are just for the summer, while others are up to a year in length. It is normally suggested that individuals who apply for au pair positions have some sort of child-care experience. This could take many forms: volunteer work, camp counselor experience, babysitting, life guarding or teaching. The preferred age range for au pairs is 18 to 30 years old. A valid passport is required, and often au pairs will be asked to acquire an international driver license.
