Completion Bonus
You will also receive a Completion Bonus in recognition of a successful Placement Term with your Host Family and as a contribution toward your return flight home. You must agree on the length of the Placement Term prior to matching with a Host Family (e.g. 6 , 9 or 12 months). The Completion Bonus is $20 NZD per week and is prorated over the length of the Placement Term. For example, for a 12 month Placement Term the net Completion Bonus is $1,040.00 NZD ($20 x 52 weeks). The Completion Bonus is paid at the end of the Placement Term by the Host Family to the Au Pair. You must complete your full Placement Term to receive your Completion Bonus.
Your Duties
The primary duty of an Au Pair is to care for the child or children of your Host Family. Au Pairs enrolled in our Au Pair 123, Au Pair Assist and Au Pair Whiz programmes must fully participate in the implementation of our educational curriculum. This includes using our Child Portfolios to track and record the development and yearly accomplishments of each child as well attending playgroups and monthly activities.
Other Au Pair responsibilities can include:
- Waking the children in the morning and helping them to get dressed
- Preparing meals for the children
- Helping the children take care of their belongings and tidy their room
- Cleaning general communal areas such as the kitchen, living room, hall way, play room, children’s room and bathroom
- Taking the children to school and other activities such as sport
- Playing, reading and encouraging the children with their homework as well as maintaining family rules (such as limited TV watching, bedtimes etc)
- Babysitting in the evenings
- Helping with the household grocery shopping
- Washing and organising the child’s clothes and bedding.
As an Au Pair you are not responsible for housework that does not relate to the children or communal living areas (that are kept tidy by all family members). Your primary duty is to take care of the children in the home of your Host Family and help with light housework relating to the children. Note: This does not apply to the Au Pair Assist programme where domestic assistance e.g. ironing and washing is acceptable.
