Your time as an au pair is coming to an end. Here are three things to help you prepare for a difficult goodbye to your host family.
You pay after we’ve found you your perfect au pair.
If you are not a European Union national you will need a visa or residence permit.
It happens! It’s unfortunate, but of course we will do our best to find you another candidate who better suits your family.
Yes, the au pair can do light housework. They can help with vacuuming, emptying the dishwasher, putting in a wash and folding laundry – but no cleaning of the bathroom or cleaning windows for example.
The au pair lives with you and your family and is entitled to 280 euros per month as pocket money. Host Families must also contribute to the payment of a language course for a total of 600 euros.
The au pair will need to work 30 hours per week (including babysitting) with a maximum of 6 hours per day.
According to the Bundesagentur für Arbeit (German Employment Agency), Au Pairs should have at least 4 evenings and one complete day off.
Au Pairs from Non-European Union (EU) member states are not allowed to have other jobs during their stay in Germany.
Au Pairs will have at least one free day per week and 4 free evenings. At least one Sunday per month must also be free. German regulations establish that Au Pairs in a one year stay will have four weeks off for their holiday. If the stay is shorter, they will have two days off in a working month.
Yes, your au pair needs to register at the foreign office (Ausländerbehörde) as soon as possible once they’ve arrived in Germany.
Their au pair agency is amazing! The staff is extremely friendly and professional. I had the chance to meet 3 great candidates who were previously screened and found a great Brazilian au pair for my 2 years old twins. She was at our home only 8 weeks after! Also, for the parents whose kids are new to it, you need not worry, for your kids will be safe and secure and appreciate some stability in their weekly routine. Kids who may be apprehensive at first will quickly adjust. It’s a relief to me as a mother to know that they will be well taken care of well at the safety of our own home.
Awesome and Amazing service! I’d say I had an awesome and wonderful experience because the team is composed of amazing people. They were in constant communication with me from the very beginning until now that I’ve arrived here in the Netherlands. Michelle was just so helpful in everything. Everything just flows smoothly with the process and assures you with what’s going to happen next. Thank you Nanny Nina!
Erin, you were the most supportive person throughout the whole process. Your calmness, through evaluation of situations, passion for what you do and your genuine concern for the families you handle is super appreciated. It was an amazing experience working throughout the process and I loved how you pushed to get things done and kept me updated through the whole process – though it was long, you tried all you could including offering me temporary help. I will be forever grateful.
You are a great asset – evidence by how many other Netflix families you have assisted and they have nothing but praise for you.
I hope we get to meet again and wish you the very best in your future endeavours.
Very nice experience with the ladies of the au pair team of Nanny Nina. Had a lot of contact with Erin at the time, who is a lovely lady and always ready to answer our questions and assist us in the whole process!
