We facilitate matching for:
- Families looking for an Au Pair or Live-In Language Tutor

A Live-In Language tutor arrangement is generally a more short-term experience, where a host family seeks an AuPair from abroad to come stay with their family and benefit from them and their child learning the AuPair’s native language. This may be in the form of a few hours of language lessons per day or naturally learning thorugh conversation just by spending time together. This usually entails a few hours a day, and the rest of the time is yours to explore your new city or hometown!
The AuPair arrangement is more well-known, longer-term experience which involves the AuPair from overseas taking on more of a live-in nanny role, contributing with up to full-time hours of care for the child, and earning some pocket money on the side.

Live-In Language Tutor and Care
There is another option of a 3 month stay. Where the main purpose of the “Au Pair’ is to teach the child and / or family their native language. This arrangement involves the “Au Pair” living-in with the family in exchange for meals and board, but only contributing with language immersion for 15 hours a week. A usual day may look like conducting more ‘formal’ language lessons or simply having casual conversations to help the language sink in. As well as outings and perhaps drop offs or pick ups.
