What families can become a host family?
- Is there at least one child under 18 living in your household?
- Can you give the au pair an own room at her/his disposal?
- Should your au pair take care of your children and take over a simple house work in your household?
- Do you speak English in your daily life?
- Are you ready to enable your au pair to attend a language course so that she/he can get better acquainted with the Irish culture?
Discuss with your au pair in advance what tasks she/he will have.
In Ireland, au pairs work for 25 to 35 hours in a week. The number of hours includes 3 evening babysittings in a week.
Your au pair has the right for two days in a week off and for one paid week of holiday in six months.
Your au pair should have the possibility to attend a language course.
