Pocket money, visa questions, country related info - we’ve got you.
An au pair is a young person (often 18-26 years old) from another country who lives with you and provides (child) care in exchange for room, board, and a small stipend. The benefits include cultural exchange, flexible childcare, and a cool experience for both the au pair and the family or senior.
An au pair comes from abroad, lives with your family as a sister, and helps 30-35 hours per week for a duration of 6-24 months as part of a cultural exchange.
A babysitter or nanny is a paid local student or professional who often works 2-8 hours a week at a fixed hourly rate and does not live with you.
An au pair is most suitable for recurring, fixed days. A babysitter for one-time evenings or days.
The process takes around 2-3 months from the moment you start the search. An EU au pair for an EU host can be arranged as fast as in 2-4 weeks, as no visa is required.
Au pairs can stay with their host family for between 1 and 24 months. It depends on which country you live in. You can find a detailed look at the regulations in your country or general help on au pair here.

It differs per candidate: some au pairs are very social and extroverted and will explore new cities and make other au pair friends on weekends/ evenings. More introverted and love to relax in their room reading a book.
Don’t worry: 20-something people often do not want to sit next to you on the couch all evening themselves either.

There is no strict minimum, but most families choose 6 or 12 months for cost-effectiveness and stability. If it doesn’t work out, you can always stop earlier. Nina’s care offers support if an early termination is needed.
All you need is a private room for the au pair! The bathroom and toilet can be shared.
