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 programme must fully participate in the implementation of our educational curriculum. This includes using our Child Portfolio 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.
