Au pair - take care for kids, stay for free and get some pocket money
Au pairs are taking care for the kids while learning the language with some pocket money and stay in the family house. Suitable for girls between 18 and 30. Longer stays preferred. Different conditions apply in different counties, but the idea is the same. The only difference is USA with designated au pair agencies, where this is treated more like work then free holiday and is well regulated.
How much pocket money, depends on a country, EU countries 200-300€ a month. It is a pocket money not a salary, but there is a food and room included. The idea arise in the pre-internet era, but with a web you could check this free holiday option easy. In some cases this will be just like free holiday in others just like hard work with screaming and spoiled kids. At aupair world there is 40.000 au pairs waiting for 10.000 hosts. Chances are slim but give it a try. For 40€, usually paid by the host family, you got all the contact details, after generic messages have been exchanged and you know you have what to expect. Longer stays are preferred, so this is not exactly free holiday program, but in some cases yes. Be careful about different conditions for different countries, it is also a cultural exchange. You could place your profile for free at different sites like aupair world, great aupair or find aupair and others. |
