<\/div>
With an Au-pair program, young people from all parts of the world are given the opportunity to live with a German host family for a certain period of time (usually 6 to 12 months). They get to know the daily family life of their host family, improve their German language skills and get an interesting insight into another culture. The tasks of an Au-pair are mainly in the childcare but also in the occasional assistance in the household, in return, the family provides catering, accommodation, and a pocket money. The Au-pair program is very advantageous and interesting for both parties (host family and Au-pair). An Au-pair is by no means to be regarded as a domestic worker but as a family member.<\/p>\n<\/div>
