European au pairs 🌟
"I wish we would have known about this sooner: Anna does the School runs and pick-ups and she cooks healthy for the kids."
"We will for the coming years use this childcare method. We loved the au pair and how she played outside, and just made us feel much more free."
"The team is very professional and always ready to help with any questions. Karen our agent has been very pro-active and just lovely."
"An extra pair of hands is exactly what we needed. Karina our now 3rd au pair relieves so much and makes life and tbh, having kids, fun again."
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.

In Denmark, au pairs receive at least 5500 DKK per month in pocket money (set by the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration – SIRI). As a host family you must also provide free room and board, pay for insurance, and cover the au pair’s travel expenses to and from Denmark. In addition, families pay an application fee to SIRI.
An au pair may help with light household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, and childcare. They cannot work full-time as a nanny, do heavy physical work, or take over responsibilities that go beyond the scope of cultural exchange.
By law, an au pair may work up to 30 hours per week (no more than 6 hours per day). They must have at least one full day off per week, and at least one Sunday per month must be free.
Yes. The official au pair contract is mandatory in Denmark and must be approved by SIRI. It defines duties, hours, pocket money, holidays, and house rules.
Most families connect with au pairs via online platforms or agencies. The official contract and residence permit application must always be submitted to SIRI.
If issues arise, communication is key. Either party can terminate the contract with notice. Families must notify SIRI of any changes, and the au pair may apply for a new family within a short timeframe.
An au pair is considered a cultural guest, not an employee. They should join family meals and activities and be treated as a temporary family member while they learn about Danish culture and traditions.
