WELCOME
We are Family au pair
Family au pair ® is an au pair agency officially licensed by the Dutch Immigration Authority (IND).We primarily mediate between Filipina au pairs and Dutch host families, and also frequently make successful matches between Filipina au pairs and host families in other European countries.
We make it our mission to guide and support host families as well as our au pairs during the entire process: from the initial screening and selection procedure, to all administrative and legal proceedings, provide support to both parties in preparing for adjustments and cultural differences as well as monitoring from the first day of the au pair with the new family until the end of her stay.
Host family
The au pair will be treated as part of the family during her stay. The family will provide free board and lodging and a monthly pocket money. In return, the au pair will assist the family by looking after the children and/or doing light household chores. The au pair will partake in the family’s activities and will join family outings and/or holidays whenever possible.
Since cultural exchange is the main focus of being an au pair, it is important that the au pair is encourage to explore every aspect of this new culture as much as possible. The host family can, for instance, take her to a museum or on a city tour. She must also be given the opportunity to attend a language course.
The benefits of having an au pair
- The children are looked after in their own home/familiar environment
- The children are less sick than when they go to a daycare/after school care.
- An au pair is flexible. For instance, if a child becomes sick, it can be looked after at home in mutual agreement between the host family and au pair.
- Having an au pair is relatively cheaper (when both parents are working) compared to daycare
- With an au pair you have an extra pair of hands around the house and less stress.
- An au pair brings extensive cultural exchange, for all parties involved.
Au pair
The objective of being an au pair is cultural exchange. The au pair will be a part of the hostfamily and they will provide her the warm and safe environment to explore a new country, learn a new language and a different culture.
