The Au Pair wages vary depending on the host country. It is important for both Au Pair and Host Family to respect the minimum standards allowed. If you are willing to pay extra money, make sure the Au Pair is not getting the salary of a regular job. In this case it will not be legal to register the person as your Au Pair. If the Au Pair wants to babysit some extra days, count these hours in future or give her some extra days as holidays. Do not forget it should be a fair deal.
An Au Pair will get a full board and accommodation by the Host Family during the whole stay. This will give both sides the opportunity to experience a cultural exchange. Both parties should also know that Au Pairs will get a weekly or monthly amount of pocked money. This will help the Au Pair to bear some personal extra costs.
You will find a list below with the most popular host countries and the Au Pair wages. There is as well the maximum hours in every single country. You can get an idea how much you will be spending by hosting an Au Pair or how much you will be earning by becoming an Au Pair.
