What are the benefits?

• Help and support - an au pair gives busy families an 'extra pair of hands' around the home. Not only does an au pair provide dedicated (one-on-one) childcare, but they also help with other household duties.
• Convenience and flexibility.
• Affordable.
• Cultural experience for your family. As well as childcare, light housework forms part of the au pair's tasks. Light housework consists of anything to do with the children of the host family. Depending on the age of the children, the au pair should help them with things like tidying up their room. Other than this, the au pair supports the family, for example, with the following housework: Washing dishes / loading and unloading the dishwasher Now and then: cleaning, sweeping, dusting/ hoovering Doing the children's washing and putting it away Ironing (not including difficult items of clothing like shirts and blouses) Making the children's beds Tidying the children's rooms Doing a little bit of shopping If necessary, looking after pets Emptying the rubbish
