Being an au pair in Greece means stepping into a culture centred around family, hospitality, and connection. Greek households are lively, warm, and often include extended family and friends.
Your daily routine may involve helping with childcare, supporting family schedules, and being part of everyday conversations and activities.
You’ll learn quickly how important family ties are in Greece, and you’ll feel that same closeness as your host family includes you in their traditions and daily life 🍇🇬🇷
As an au pair in Greece, you’ll receive between €300-€500 per month in pocket money, which varies depending on the family.

You can use online platforms or au pair agencies. Agencies can be very helpful with contracts, insurance, and ensuring the au pair meets visa requirements. At Nina.care, we help you find your host family and provide additional support after a match.
If issues arise, you should first try direct communication. If the situation cannot be resolved, the agreement can be ended with reasonable notice (commonly 2 weeks). Agencies can step in to mediate and help arrange a replacement if needed.

The weekly schedule is a valuable guide to help you understand your tasks and responsibilities throughout the week. While it provides structure, it isn’t fixed.
With clear, timely communication, it can be adjusted whenever you or your host family have any changes or commitments.
Having a schedule not only sets expectations but also helps prevent misunderstandings. From our experience, many challenges arise simply because no plan was put in place.
That’s why we offer this template, to support smooth communication and a positive experience between you and your host family.
