The Au-pairs will live in the host family; the relationship between the Au-pair and the host family is mutually beneficial. Au-pairs help with childcare and help with the daily chores of the host family’s household. In return, the host family provides shelter, daily necessities, and health insurance, provides pocket money, and provides the opportunity to take German language courses.
