Host families have much to gain by inviting an au pair into their home. It be cost-effective and culturally-enriching, with children benefitting from a care-giver who is more of an older sibling than a babysitter.
However, it's not just host families that reap the rewards. Once they’re settled into their home away from home, au pairs have the opportunity to embrace new experiences, explore a different country, bond with locals and earn some pocket money along the way.
To gain a feel for the au pair experience, we spoke with Katrin Krzoska and Jess Demain - two au pairs who found their host families through AuPairworld.
