Why become an Au pair?
As an Au pair, you will live with a host family for several months. In exchange, you will look after the children and you will help with everyday household chores. This stay in France or the country of your preference will allow you to discover new life styles, manners and culture. You will also have the opportunity to improve your language skills.
Not only is this experience a source of great personal and cultural enrichment, Au pair work is considered as a real professional opportunity in a world where frontiers are fast-disappearing.
Our commitment to you
Elite Au pairs Sydney is a team of professionals who will help you to find an Au pair host family in Europe and Ca
nada. Our team has first hand experience of being or hosting an Au pair, so we understand your needs and aspirations. We ensure that your application file meets the necessary criteria and that your host family meets your expectations.
During your stay, we remain at your disposal for any assistance you may need (with language courses, transportation, etc.)
We provide you with an information booklet on your arrival. We organise monthly meetings, and give you a list of other Au pairs provided by our network in every country. We keep in touch with you during your stay and, acting as a personal advisor, help you make a success of your new living arrangements.

An Au pair placement is a cultural exchange program and not at all an employment contract. During your stay, you are considered as a member of the family.
