European au pairs 🌟
"We knew we’d found the right person when our toddler started asking for her before breakfast"
"Within a week, our au pair knew our children’s routines better than we did."
"I was surprised at how naturally our au pair fitted into our family life."
"Having an au pair has made after-school hours far less stressful for everyone."
Working parents are always short on time. An au pair can help up to 30 hours per week, giving you more peace of mind and real quality time. They help with the kids, tidying up, cooking, school runs, etc.
More than 3,000 families chose an au pair through Nina.care: less stress, more structure, and children who learn English or Spanish along the way. Many have a driver’s license and specific experience with newborns. 👉 In many cases, your au pair can start within 2 months.

Hosting an au pair in Belgium usually costs around €550 per month in pocket money, plus free room and board. Families may also pay for health/accident insurance and contribute to language course fees, as au pairs are expected to attend classes.
An au pair in Belgium helps with childcare (taking children to school, babysitting, playing, helping with homework) and light household duties (tidying children’s rooms, preparing simple meals, laundry for the kids). Heavy cleaning, gardening, or professional-level childcare is not permitted.
Au pairs in Belgium may work a maximum of 20 hours per week, and no more than 4 hours per day. They must have at least one full day off per week and time to attend mandatory language courses. Paid holidays are usually included if the stay is longer-term.
A formal au pair contract is required in Belgium. It must be approved by the Belgian authorities (Office for Foreigners) and defines duties, hours, pocket money, holidays, and integration requirements.
Most Belgian host families work through registered agencies since the process involves paperwork with immigration authorities. Online platforms may also be used, but agencies help ensure compliance with strict Belgian rules.
If issues arise, the first step is open discussion between family and au pair. If things don’t improve, either party may end the contract with notice. Because contracts are government-approved, families may need to inform local authorities if the placement ends early.
Au pairs in Belgium are treated as family members and not employees. They are expected to share daily life with the family, join meals, and take part in cultural exchange. Language learning is central: au pairs improve their Dutch, French, or German while exposing children to their own culture and language.
