The aupair is given room and board and is typically paid a weekly "pocket-money" salary. Aupairs generally stay with their host family for one year.        Why be an Aupair?        Learn a foreign language! As au pair you take part in your host family's daily life. You are forced to use the language of your host country and to listen to it during the whole day. Moreover you can train everything you learn at your language school in real life, so that your linguistic skills internalise. Soon you will speak fluently without having to search extensively for words.        Extend your horizon! The au pair Program offers you the possibility to leave your usual way of life for a certain time and to get to know the lifestyle of other cultures. You will see and learn a lot of new things, you will meet interesting people. The understanding of a foreign culture represents a great enrichment not only for your general education but also for your personality.        Become independent! By working autonomously within your host family and by taking over the responsibility for the children you learn to make your own decisions and to take on responsibility for other people. These are qualities you need both during your studies and your job.        Combine your stay abroad with a job! As au pair you have the possibility to finance a longer stay abroad without large expenses of your own and to get to know more than the city you live in. You can travel all over the country during your spare time or during your holidays. Often the host families like to take their au pairs with them to their holidays.        Enjoy working with the children! You love children and you would like to take up a profession that includes the care for children? The au pair stay offers you the possibility to gain experience in looking after children and to improve your qualification for a lot of (social) jobs.        Typical au pair duties:        dropping the children off at school picking them up from school or after-school activities helping with homework assisting in keeping the children’s rooms clean cooking light meals for the children        We can be contacted during office hours: Monday - Friday 09:30 – 13:00 and 14.00 - 17.00 Please call for an appointment: 00 353 1 2844675 Email: info@aupairstudy.com Au Pair Study Centre: 1 Clarinda Park North, Dun Laoghaire, Co.
