Benefits for Host Families: Childcare and Cultural Exchange
You're thinking about welcoming an Au-Pair to your home, but aren't sure whether being part of the Au-Pair program is worth it?
Au-Pairs are a huge help in daily life. Their main task is taking care of your children. An Au-Pair brings your kids to school and entertains them in their free time. This way, your children will gain a new big sibling. Since the Au-Pair lives with you, your kids will be taken care of in their usual environment.
Besides childcare, Au-Pairs can be responsible for light household chores. These may include keeping the kids' rooms neat or preparing lunch.
You can schedule the Au-Pair's working hours according to your needs, so you don't have to worry about childcare if something important comes up at short notice.
Hosting an Au-Pair has a lot of benefits. An Au-Pair stay gives you the chance to experience a new culture and expand your horizon. Not only will you show a young person your way of life, but they will also have the chance to experience a new culture and improve their language skills.
