Au Pair / Responsibilities of an Au Pair

As an Au Pair, you'll have a wonderful time living, studying and traveling in Australia or New Zealand. An au pair job gives you the chance to experience Australian or Kiwi life and culture first hand. In exchange, you'll be responsible for providing personalized childcare for your family's children. Below are some typical responsibilities you will have in your job as an au pair.

• Supervising and playing with your family's children
• Getting children bathed and dressed
• Feeding and changing infants
• Making children's breakfast and lunch
• Keeping children's rooms neat and doing children's laundry
• Driving children to school, appointments and lessons
• Helping children with school homework
• Teaching children about your own culture and traditions
• Accompanying your host family on trips and outings
• Each family is different so your responsibilities will vary depending on the age of your family's children, whether the parents work outside the home and where you live.
