Au Pair Programme Italy

Duties

Your au pair will primarily take care of your children. Additionally, he/she will help you with light housework. You should both clarify beforehand what the exact duties of your au pair will be. Your desicions should be documented in an au pair contract.

Working hours, time off, pocket money

 

	Working hours	Time off	Pocket money
Demi Pair	15 hours per week	1 full day off	120 € per month
Demi Pair Plus	20 hours per week	2 full days off and 3 free afternoons per week	160 € per month
Au Pair	30 hours per week	1 full day off, 2-3 free afternoons and 3-4 free evenings per week	240 € per month
Au Pair Plus	40 hours per week	1 full day off and 3-4 free evenings per week	300 € per month

Board & lodging

Apart from the pocket money, you will have to offer free board and lodging to your future au pair. He/she is also entitled to free board and lodging in case of illness.

Holiday

In Italy, there are no uniform rules concerning the holiday for an au pair. Therefore, you should come to an agreement with your au pair before he/she joins your family. Normally, an au pair is entitled to a paid holiday of two weeks if employed for 6 months.

Language course

Your au pair should be given enough time and opportunity to participate in a language course. The au pair will bear the costs for the language course by himself/herself. As you as a host family know your own town well, it would be nice of you if you could help your au pair find an appropriate language course.
 

Termination

The au pair contract can be terminated giving a two weeks notice. Thus, you will have enough time to find a replacement. At the same time, you can help your au pair find a new host family or organize his/her trip back home. Should serious circumstances make it necessary, you can also terminate the contract with immediate effect.
