AU PAIR
In Germany
About Germany
What is an Au Pair?
Being an au pair means stepping into your big sister era – part mentor, part bestie, and 100% awesome!
You’ll provide childcare in exchange for free room, board, a weekly paycheck (hello, bratwurst fund!), and support for a German language course – so you can flex those Deutsch skills.
It’s not just a job – it’s a cultural glow-up! You’ll be treated like part of the fam, not just staff, while soaking up all the fairy-tale vibes Germany has to offer. Ready to make memories that last forever? Let’s do this!
