Mothers helps are required to help with childcare - usually on a more full time basis -hence they may be required to take care of younger children throughout the day. They will also be required to help with housework including simple cooking, vaccuming, washing, cleaning and ironing.

Highlights

Au pairs receive bed and board and pocket money of around 55 GBP per week in return for 25 hours childcare plus up to two evenings babysitting per week. They generally have weekends free plus other time during the week in which to study English. An au pair 'plus' would work around 35-40 hours per week and receive upwards of 65 GBP per week depending on hours/free time.

Mothers helps also receive bed and board and are paid around 150-200 GBP per week. They generally have one full day a week and do not require free time to study.
