- It is also essential that the au pair is covered by an au pair insurance during the whole au pair stay.
Prepare for the au pair stay
5. Prepare for the au pair stay
- If the au pair needs a visa, then the host family and au pair need to prepare all the documents themselves.
- Organise the arrival of the au pair. Exchange information about the date of arrival, flight or train number and make arrangements for meeting the au pair.
