The Pros and Cons of hiring an au pair
In a family where both parents are working can be difficult! Striking a work-life balance can be challenging, and while you may be excited to return to work or start a new role, the thought of leaving your children with someone else can be a very frightening prospect.
There is an option - hiring an Au Pair.
Pros of hosting an Au Pair
You can welcome in an honorary member of the family
They bring their traditions, culture and language to the host family
They provide care for your children and help out around the house
They will ensure that your child is well socialised and participating in activities
They are closer in age and can relate better to your children
They can work according to your schedule.
They cost less than a nanny
Cons of hosting an Au Pair
The Au Pair will be living with the Host Family, the family’s privacy will be influenced. It will take a bit of time to adapt to a new person.
You would be required to provide them with room and board
They would expect to be included in meals and family outings
It takes time for an Au Pair to adapt to a new place and country, especially if the first time that thy travel abroad alone. It might also take time for your children to accept a new person
As they are coming to you from a different country, you won't be able to meet them in person before they come out to work for you
The main goal of the Au Pair program is cultural exchange, and as au pairs are young, they may not have extensive childcare experience
They cannot work more than 25 hours per week
