Whar else do you gain from the au pair program?

Living abroad is a unique opportunity to break down cultural barriers and fear of the unfamiliar. Studying abroad is an opportunity like none other to learn, share and grow as a citizen not only of your home country, but of the world. Anyone can take a snapshot of the Eiffel Tower or the Sagrada Familia, but plugging into the local culture is the real challenge-and prize.

Combine your stay abroad with a job!

As an au pair you're part of the children’s daily activities and helping out with household chores. You receive pocket money for your work and get room and board. Your life is safe and sorted, everything is organised before you arrive. As au pair you have the possibility to finance a longer stay abroad without large expenses of your own and to get to know more than the city you live in.

Learn a foreign language!

As an au pair you will take part in your host family's daily life. You will be forced to use the language during the whole day. Moreover you can use everything you learn at your language school in real life. Soon you will speak fluently without having to search extensively for words.

Extend your horizon!

Living abroad is a unique opportunity to break down cultural barriers and fear of the unfamiliar. Be open to new experiences. You will see and learn a lot of new things, you will meet interesting people, which will improve not only your general education but also your personality.

Become independent!

You will have the possibility to finance a longer stay abroad without large expenses of your own and to get to know more of the area you live in. You can travel all over the country during your spare time or your holidays.

Boost your CV!

Good foreign language skills, intercultural competence and international experience look great on any CV! The benefit of having work experience in a foreign country is that it helps you stand out from the crowd, especially in an increasingly competitive market.
