 Au Pairs are single students between 18
and 29 who want to improve their foreign language skills and their
knowledge of another country. We accept currently enrolled college
students and recent graduates. Most Au Pair jobs are for women but we
place a few men. You
should have some knowledge of the language. Above all, you must like
being with children. ACCORD
Au Pairs work 5 to 6 hours a day, 30 hours per week, plus 2 evenings of
babysitting. Mornings are free to attend classes. Weekends are usually
free. Duties consist
of light housekeeping and child care. In exchange, the family provides a
private room, meals, and a salary of about $250 to $400 a month,
depending on the country.
Free room and board plus a
salary can make Europe a reality for students who could not otherwise
afford to go. Au
Pairs are not considered to be domestic help and they are included in
family activities. Their stay is intended to be an educational one.
Immerse
yourself! For 1
to 3 months you can take
language courses and live with a family. You will pay the family
directly for the private room and for meals, unless you prefer to eat
out. At your
favorite café, the waiter who serves your croque monsieur
or emparedados calientes will not ask what courses you are
taking.
 As a Guest Teacher you will live in
the house as a guest, with meals and a private room provided by the
family. There is no salary. Your only job duty is to speak English with
the children. No
previous knowledge of teaching English is required. Available only in
Spain.
 An Internship is an unpaid job with a company
in London. Internships are available in marketing, engineering,
communications, computer technology, finance, environmental studies, and
other areas. Maximum stay is 3 months.
