What will I be doing?
Au pairs help with childcare 5 days a week and are expected to teach, play and take care of the children. Some light housework may be required as well. In return, you will receive an allowance, meals, and stay in a private room in the family residence.
Au pairs are matched with families based on compatibility and are given a guaranteed work placement prior to arrival in Europe. The host families are carefully screened by our local representatives and our partners will conduct interviews, check references and background police reports during your application process.

• France: Lyon and surrounding areas (between Paris and the south of France)
