Au-Pair stays

Universo Au Pair

Become an “Au-Pair” or an host family, simply!

AU-PAIR STAYS

Au Pair stays are considered a cultural exchange project.

Besides offering the opportunity to improve one’s own language skills, one can learn about a new culture since the au pair stays are beneficial for one’s own personal growth.

For the aspiring au pair candidates, the au pair programme involves a period of stay established in Italy or abroad (from 2 to 24 months), with the host families which undergo rigorous selection and agree to provide board and lodging, plus weekly pocket money, in exchange for working with the family as an Au-Pair, a Nanny, a child care-giver, a child birth support person, (Doula), or as a Tutor.

Furthermore, language courses are offered at qualified schools.

All the information regarding the documentation necessary for an Au-Pair stay, and the costs related to participation in the programme, can be requested by e-mail or by telephoning the UNIVERSO AU-PAIR Agency.
