This Site offers Job Seekers the possibility to advertise their intentions on the Internet. It is aimed at Au Pair's, Mother's Helpers and Nannies. In addition, families looking for Au Pairs, Mother's Helpers or Nannies can also put their classified advertisement on these pages.

Au Pair positions are stagiaire positions which enable young people, after their apprenticeships, or in between high school and going to university to live in another country with a family and learn about the host countries language and culture. Au Pair positions are not jobs for older people wanting to explore the country and culture! In general, Au Pair positions are

only open to young females, aged between 17 to 30 years, though acceptable ages vary from country to country and are in some instance limited to 25 only. Some families will accept males as Au Pairs but there are fewer available positions.

Working conditions for Au Pair can vary widely. But within the European Union (France, Britain, Spain and Germany etc) and some other countries, such as Switzerland, they tend to be fairly similar. Most EU countries have signed the EUROPEAN AGREEMENT ON AU PAIR PLACEMENT which states that the Au Pair shall:

	Receive full board & housing from the employing family and occupy a separate room.
	Be given adequate time to attend language courses.
	Have at least one full free day per week, of which not less than one such free day in every month has to be a Sunday. I addition an Au pair has to be give the opportunity to take part in organized religious observance.
	Receive a sum of money, as pocket money*) (not a salary). The amount of and the intervals at which it is paid is to be determined by the agreement signed by the family and the Au pair.

In return, the Au Pair is expected to:

Work about 5 hours per day (maximum of 30 hours per week), looking after children and doing light housework. Au pairs are not salaried cleaning and house staff! It is important that details like working hours, days off, duties etc. are included in any agreement between the family and the Au pair.

Babysit in the evening not more then twice a week.

*) 'Pocket money' rates are currently (Jan 2005) around £200/400Euro/500 SFR per month, though amounts may vary. Often the family also pays for the language school, but this is voluntary!

Obviously no such restrictions apply to Mother's Help or Nanny positions, since, unlike an Au Pair position in some countries, they are governed by standard employment legislation. Mother's Help and Nannies require in most countries to have formal training in this field. Accepting a Mother's help position is not a means of circumventing the age restrictions for au-pairs.

Visas and Work Permits

Each country has its own Visa regulations. Though Britain, France, Spain and Germany accept Au Pairs from all EU (European Union) states, plus a range of other European countries, without a Visa. Some countries, such as Britain, will only accept Au Pairs from a limited number of countries**). Australia, Canada and the United States have special regulations about Au Pairs and it is essential, that a prospective applicant works either through a reputable Au Pair Agency, or obtains information from the respective Embassy.

If you are not from the EU, check with your au pair agency first, as you might need to apply for a special visa before leaving your country. Do not travel to a country in the hope of finding an Au Pair position on the spot. You risk being deported as an illegal immigrant!

**) Britain and a few other EU countries only accept Au pairs from a limited range of countries:

All other EU Countries and Andorra, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Greenland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Macedonia, Monaco, Norway, San Marino, Switzerland, The Faroes, Turkey, USA, Canada
