Working hours

Participants in Luxembourg work 25 hours per week and a maximum of 5 hours a day.

Host Family and Au Pair should discuss the schedule in advance so the participant can plan their time better. If the participant needs to work some extra hours, the Host Family needs to add the same amount of hours to the days off in the future or pay them extra.

Pocket money

According to the official Au Pair program in Luxembourg, the participant will be getting between 480 - 500 euros a month. The pocket money received by the Au Pair must correspond to 1/5th of the social minimum wage. Click here for more information.

The best option will be opening a bank account in Luxembourg so that the Host Family can transfer the money monthly.

Time off and holidays

Participants in Luxembourg will have one day off and at least three free evenings per week.

In addition to this, participants will get two weeks of paid holiday for a 6-month stay in Luxembourg. If the Host Family invites the Au Pair to join them on vacation, clarify whether these days will be working or free time.

The participant can’t take part in any other paid or independent work during the whole stay in Luxembourg.

 

Language course

The Au Pair program gives young people the possibility to attend a language course during their stay. It is one of the requirements of the program. The participants can choose one of the official languages of the country to study.

What else?

If the Au Pair is a Non-EU citizen, they need to submit an application to the Ministry of Education in advance. They will decide whether they can become a participant or not.
