There are several agencies in Australia who can get you an au pair suitable to your family and your requirements.

First let us explain what an au pair is?
The French term “Au Pair” means “on par” or equal. Au Pairs move to Australia to experience Australian life while living with an Australian host family and caring for their children.
An Au Pair is usually a young woman (or man) from a foreign country considering for a new intercultural change. They approve to contribute to the host family with domestic care of their children and light house chores and in return they get the chance to enhance their own English abilities on a regular basis while experiencing life in a safe homely environment as they become a part of an Australian family.
Au pair’s errands generally comprise of:
- Awakening and dressing the children, showering and playing with the children.
- Cooking meals for the children, watching after their stuffs, making beddings for children. Washing their clothes and maintaining their rooms and cleaning up the kitchen after the children eat.
- Driving children to and from school, appointments or outings
Provisions that an au pair receives:
- a private room
- all the meals in a day
- salary for their expense (there are rules for that)
- get to go on outings with the host family
- 1-2 days off in a week for personal needs
Au Pairs make a considerable fiscal and private promise to be a part of the program. They are dedicated and very passionate about their role caring for the kids of their Australian Host Family.
