Host families in Germany are seeking au pairs with a strong English background to come to Germany to assist their children to learn more about the English language and to be able to expose their children to the cultural/language experience of an au pair from an English-speaking country. Au pairs will live with their host families and will join them on local holidays and celebrations, while spending their year abroad. There will always be support from a local counsellor and other au pairs in your area. Being in the heart of Europe, au pairs are able to explore and experience true European living.
