The Au Pair Core Skills Course gives your future au pair 6 hours of concentrated online instruction for just 82 EUR. Make sure your au pair has the knowledge and skills for optimal performance – before the au pair stay begins.
A new au pair takes on a crucial role in the family with serious responsibilities for the care and well-being of your children. You want the best au pair with the best preparation for this important role.
When au pairs start their stay with an overview of the au pair role, childcare activities and home safety, they can learn more quickly on the job and take on their new responsibilities more effectively.
Au pairing depends on a positive process of give and take. You give the course, your au pair commits to the preparation, and together you have the first step of a happy partnership for the au pair stay.
After your purchase of the course, your au pair can work through the course at their own pace with learning checks for each unit.
The Babyem course material has been developed by a highly qualified childcare team and features 6 hours of well-structure interactive materials with lots of videos and practical learning examples.
When the course has been completed, the au pair gets a certificate of completion that they can share with you. More information on the Babyem course is available here.
