Rules
Au pair placements are regulated by specific rules and requirements set by the authorities in each country. Both the au pair and the host family must comply with these regulations. We guide you through the process and ensure that all requirements are handled correctly from start to finish. Failure to comply with the regulations can affect the residence permit and the stay.
