Hosting a summer au pair – What's really involved?
A young person (aged between 18 and 30) joins your family as a new temporary member for the summer.
- Au pairs help with childcare and family tasks - usually for about 30 hours per week.
- In return, au pairs get a room of their own in the family home, share meals with the family and receive a standard amount of monthly pocket money.
