Au Pair Contract
Providing accurate and up-to-date contact information is an important part of your au pair profile.
Why is an Au Pair Contract Important?
El contrato no es solo un trámite formal, sino la base de confianza entre tú y tu familia anfitriona. En él se especifican las horas de trabajo, las condiciones de alojamiento, la remuneración y otros aspectos esenciales para evitar malentendidos y asegurar que ambas partes estén conformes.
¿Qué debe incluir tu contrato Au Pair?
Make sure your contract covers all key points:
Number of working hours per week
Accommodation and meals provided
Travel costs responsibility
Pocket money amount and payment schedule
Weekly free days and holidays
How to Agree on the Contract Terms
Discuss all points openly with your Host Family before arrival. It’s best to have several video calls to align expectations and reach a mutual agreement. This helps build a positive relationship from the start.
Contract Termination
While no official rules exist, it’s recommended that both parties give at least two weeks’ notice if ending the contract early. During this time, cooperation is key:
The Au Pair should look for a new Host Family
The Host Family should find alternative childcare solutions
