Au Pairs are "daily angels" of your family helping you to take care of your little ones, be their helping hand and true friend and offer additional guidance and everyday entertainment. They are normally living with the family / Client, having their own room and a bathroom. Au Pairs are young ladies or gentlemen, from mainly European countries, coming to the UK to improve their language skills, offering their help with children and with everyday tasks in your household. You need to understand that you will become a second family to your Au Pair; they are all true sweethearts wanting to help, and hoping to get some help with understanding English in return. They are asked to work from Monday to Friday, with a maximum of 25 hours a week and 2 Baby-sittings for a standard Au Pair, or 25-40 hours for Au Pair Plus and Mothers Help.
