Description

Au pairs in Australia provide between 25 and 45 hours of child care per week and you may be asked to babysit in the evenings. Some families need 25 hours during term time and 45 in school holidays. On your days off, you will have a chance to make friends with people from all over the world: Australia has many international students and backpackers so there will be lots of other young people for you to meet. The Au Pair in Australia program is designed to give you the opportunity to 'live the Aussie way' and share the lifestyle. Australian people are really active and enjoy life to the fullest, spending a lot of time outdoors. The au pair program in Australia is for 6 months with a host family. Your visa is for 12 months so you have up to 6 months to explore Australia at the end of your program.
