In Denmark, au pairs receive a fixed monthly pocket money of around DKK 5000, which is paid directly by the host family.
This is in addition to free accommodation and meals, which are always provided during the stay.
Families may also contribute toward language courses or transport, bringing the average monthly cost for host families to around DKK 5500.

In Denmark, health insurance is the responsibility of the host family. The host family must ensure that the au pair is covered by the Danish national health insurance system after arrival and registration.
In addition, Danish regulations require the host family to provide specific insurance coverage, including insurance for personal injury, work-related accidents, and repatriation in case of serious illness, injury, or death.
After registration at the local Citizenβs Service Centre (Borgerservice), the au pair receives a CPR number and health card, which provides access to the Danish healthcare system.
Monthly basic expenses include
1. Au pairβs pocket money: +- DKK 5000 p/mβ¨
2. Food and accommodation: provided by host
As the au pair does not receive a high pocket money, itβs kind to help a bit with small extra. β¨This is optional, but can help to find a great match as well
β’ Travel allowance: DDK 400 p/m
β’ Phone plan: DDK 250 p/m
β’ Gym membership: DDK 300 p/m
β’ Museum card or cinema card: DDK 225 p/m
Or other benefits to help your au pair feel more comfortable and welcome during their stay.
The aftercare, contract and visa support package at β¬68 per month has thesame price as the self match Membership: itβs recommended to keep it running throughout your au pair term to avoid stress and allow your au pair access to the au pair community and support.β¨β¨Itβs optional, but Nina.care is an au pair Agency, meaning we cover not just the search of your au pair, but we are there for you during rematch, registration, visa and contract questions.
Arrange your au pair without missing anything and continue the β¬68 per month membership during the term.
In Denmark, the responsibility for flight costs depends on the au pairβs nationality.
For au pairs from outside the EU/EEA or Switzerland, the host family is legally required to cover both the arrival and return flight tickets.
For EU/EEA au pairs, there is no specific legal obligation regarding travel costs. In these cases, arrangements can be agreed upon mutually between the host family and the au pair.
Even when not legally required, some host families choose to contribute to or fully cover the flight tickets as a welcoming gesture. At the same time, we believe it can be positive for the au pair to also contribute personally to the experience and investment.
The pocket money is paid directly by the host family to the au pair.
Once the au pair arrives in the host country, it is important that they open a local bank account so the monthly payments can be transferred easily. For candidates from the EU, it is often not necessary to open a local bank account.
There is always a small risk that a match does not work out as expected. To reduce this risk, our after care package includes an alignment meeting between the host family and the au pair before the start of the placement. During this meeting, important topics such as the start date, pocket money, vacation days, weekly schedule, and expectations are discussed to make sure everyone is on the same page.
If the match still does not work out, there is a transition period of 2β4 weeks during which both the host family and the au pair can look for a new match or decide on the next steps.
When Premium Matching Service families have an actie βAftercare packageβ at moment of rematch, we will find them a new candidate without extra costs.
