Scandinavian Au Pair Center: Au Pair Positions

Scandinavian Au Pair Center is a placement agency that connects families with au pairs. During their stay as a family member in their host family au pairs will be required to take care of the child/children. They can work with younger children or school age children depending on which family the au pair decides to stay with. They will be giving them breakfast, lunch, prepare/cook dinner. Au pairs will play with them, help with school work and drive them to and from school. Sometimes take them places, in short be there for the children as company, for help and support. The family also wants au pairs to do some lighter housework. They can be asked to do the dishes, vacuum, clean, do the laundry, walk the dog (if they have one), sometimes cook, bake, etc. Meals, accommodation and weekly pocket money are included.
