The Au Pair contract is a necessary document for Au Pairs in Norway. Without it they might not get a residence permit.
On the other hand, the insurance in Norway is governed by the country’s legislation.
Au Pair and Host Family have to sign an agreement. The participant will need to submit an application for a residence permit. Depending on their nationality, the participant will need to present it either at the local police office in Norway or at the embassy during the visa application in the participant’s homeland.
It is a necessity in any case. Make sure to discuss all the points with each other and sign it after reaching a mutual agreement. The contract should typically include the following information:
Sometimes problems occur and it is not possible to find a solution. If terminating the contract between the Au Pair and the Host Family becomes necessary, both parties should write a letter of resignation. The notice period should be 1 month. The local police office (where the participant registers upon arrival) should get the information about the termination of the contract.
The participant is enrolled in the National Insurance Scheme (Folketrygden) along with the registration (at Folkeregister) in Norway. This way the participant is covered by the Norwegian national health service.
The Host Family should also purchase insurance for the participant in case of illness, injury or death. AuPair.com has partners like Dr. Walter and Care Concept, that you can consider for additional insurance services.
Driving a car in Norway
The participant can drive a car in Norway using the driver’s license from their homeland for a year. If the participant stays longer than a year and wants to drive a car during this time, the applicant should apply for a Norwegian license.

It was truly a life changing experience. The family is warm and accomodating and they truly gave me an opportunity to explore Stockholm and be immersed in the culture of this Scandinavian country. I was also given the chance to study Swedish at a private school which is not offered to every au pair in there (most go to the public institution that offers Swedish).
I really had a good time with the family. I've seen almost all the attractions offered in Stockholm and I get to meet new friends, both Filipinos and international films. I also had the chance to travel and see other European countries and learn about their history and traditions that I am very interested with.
A great wanderjahr for me!
