The right family

We have host families all over Australia and Canada! You will be placed with a family whose needs match your experience and whose lifestyle you’ll feel most comfortable with.

Your host family provides your meals, allowance and a pocket money. In return, you care for their children for no more than 10 hrs a day and 5 .5 days a week. You are also expected to do some light housework.

The kids

They are the ultimate reason for becoming an au pair. Your schedule will depend on the ages of the children e.g if you look after school-aged children, then you will have quite a bit of free time during the day while the kids are at school. Some au pairs prefer to care for infants who have a more fixed routine.
