We should like to make your search for an au pair as simple as possible, therefore our family registration form can be obtained on this site, together with other useful information.

"Au pair" originally comes from the French meaning "on equal terms".  An au pair lives as a member of the family and helps with childcare and household duties in return for board and lodging.   He/she usually works for 25 hours a week and will receive £65 to £70.

The au pair scheme is a cultural exchange, the main aim being to improve the girl or boy's language skills by going to college.
