Your expectations
Solution Au Pair establishes with you the selection criteria and introduces you to young French au pairs who correspond best to your needs and expectations.

French au pair profiles
Our au pairs are young French women or men between 18 and 27 years old, wanting to discover your culture.

They have a basic knowledge of your language.

They are in good health.

They are non-smokers or at least capable of not smoking with the children around.

They respect your lifestyle and habits.

The obligations of a French au pair
An au pair :

works 30-40 hours a week,

takes care of your children at home: meals, naps, bathtime, playtime, etc,

takes your children to school and their outside activities,

baby-sits for you twice a week,

helps with the everyday running of your home and simple household chores.

Your obligations
In return, you undertake to :

provide a private bedroom with bathroom (failing this the au pair may share the bathroom with the kids),

provide all meals,

give between 70 and 140 € * pocket money a week, payable at the end of each week,

if convenient, provide use of a car. You have to pay the insurance (all risks).
*estimated amount in Euro, to be converted into your own currency

In order to help your au pair to adapt quickly to your family life, we recommend that you provide a written timetable on his/her arrival, setting out what you expect of him/her.
May we remind you that the au pair placement is a cultural exchange programme and not at all an employment contract. During his/her stay, you have to consider the au pair as a family member. You may therefore offer some perks, such as a financial contribution to a language course, bus or rail pass, etc.

Free time
You will give your au pair :

one or two days off a week, at the weekend if possible, with at least one Sunday a month for worship,

enough free time for his/her French lessons and his/her leisure activities,

One week paid holiday after 6 continuous months with the family.
