How to be an au pair for a year
How I did it: I found a family online. BIG MISTAKE. I recommend anyone interested in doing this to go through an agency in case things don't work out. It safeguards you against slave labor and crazies.
People doing this are also doing these things:

....in SWITZERLAND
!!!
requirements are minimum 12-18 month stay….
30 hours a week of work….
at least one day off a week
4 weeks of vacation time!!!
and your employer pays for language classes….
plus now i know some ppl there…
so why not? :)
I didnt quite make the year (only 6 months) but I loved it. I had a great time in Madrid!
I want to au pair in Germany, I’ve already got a lead.
I need a year to do something, without anyone else to depend on.
Plus I love the idea of learning another language while being forced to learn it to get around day by day.
I love you Canada, but its time to get out for a bit, so i can remember why I love living here.
Just need to find a way to get 200 hrs experience working with infants. Maybe my cousin will let me babysit over the summer…
How did all you get the experience?
I signed up because a friend of mine was doing it,
I`ve been here two years now and now its time for me to go back to sunny olde Wales, Its great you`ll find a second family, I am working to screen new au-pairs who want to come from the uk to the usa, drop me an email and i can help!!
A year from now, I should going to france to au pair for 8 months… I’M SO EXCITED!!!
Been dreamin’ about it since I was 15.
Well now I’m 24 and still it’s on my mind. So I guess I have to do it… soon, let’s hope I have the guts to quit my dreamjob!
