- This video is based on my own experience, questions I have received from au pairs and common misconceptions regarding the concept of hosting an au pair. If you are thinking about becoming a host family, this will hopefully help you make a more informed decision. If you are already hosting an au pair, I hope you will still get some new information out of this.
This should be mandatory viewing. You have the kindest, most honest advice.
Yes the key is mutual respect and communication. This starts in the interview process. I'm a host mom and an engineering intern mom (I've had 100s of college age young adults in my home over the last 20 years), and I do a lot of communication and over communication of what my family is like and what our expectations are. I then ask the same of them. The fit is key, it's like dating or interviewing a roommate. If the fit is good, it's a great set up and then just continue the communication and empathy from there.
Yes you’re right but as an au pair mostly we have it difficult because of the family .the way of how the family approach you is very important because if I get treated as a family member I would really love what I’m doing
@@joy9367 yes being family is the spirit of the program and not every family does this. Id encourage au pairs to ask if you will be treated as a family member, ask them to describe what this is like. What's dinner like, how r vacations handled. Grocery shopping. Asking lots of questions on both sides is key.
@@AmericanAupairHostMom yes thank you , I will be looking in June for a family in Germany so I’m very thankful about the infos 🤍
@@joy9367 check out some au pair you tube channels like au pair oh paris and for a host mom perspective check out mine

That's the key 🔑
Hi do we require A1 certificate for applying visa for an au pair?
Hello thanks for your excellent advice. And the egent they asked 250$ to pay for my registration fee is it true????
there is no such thing as poor table manners as a foreigner, just different customs. I remember being shocked in France that we had to put our elbows on the table because that's completely rude in Australia!
I wanted to be an au pair. I am a Filipino
Where is the link to find a host family?
Hi, how much does a host family pay to get an aupair?
It costs a host family between $25,000 - $30,000 American dollars a year. About $9,000 in agency fees. A little over $10,000 in weekly stipend to the au pair. $500 for education. And $5,000 - $10,000 a year in food, utilities, gifts, adding them to car insurance, gas, gym memberships, taking an extra adult on vacations, etc. Many host parents don't like the term "cheap childcare" because for most Americans this is very expensive. It's reasonably priced compared to a live-in nanny, but most au pairs don't have the experience of a professional nanny and there is a far bigger emotional and mental cost to hosting.
Depends on the country. In USA is around 10,000 dollars pocket money the year plus the acommodation in your house. You can find the aupair in aupairworld so you won’t need an agency. You pay a subscription I think is 100 dollars and you can find a lot of aupairs from different countries without an agency. An aupair is not expensive because she/he will work in us I think the maximun is 45h/week for less than 1000 dollars. If you have to contract a nanny she you will have to pay per hour.

I love taking good care of kids,taking them to school,I love playing with kids..
Interested host family looking for au pair should notify me..

Lady this is work not a vacation. Do you go to your full time job expecting to be bought a car and a cell phone and to go on vacation? I don’t want another child to take care of, i need someone to take care of a child. Nobody wants to work anymore, this generation thinks work is a fun place you go to, i got news for you.
