A Day in Your Life as an Au Pair
Here's what a typical day might look like
Help kids get ready for school - breakfast, getting dressed, and lots of smiles!
Kids are at school! Time for your English class, gym, meeting friends, or exploring the city.
Pick up kids, help with homework, play games, or take them to activities.
Join the family for dinner, share stories about your day, practice English naturally.
Free to relax, video chat with home, go out with friends, or join family movie night!
Every family is different - some need morning help, others need afternoons. You'll work up to 45 hours/week with a schedule that works for everyone!
