Become an Au Pair in Germany

Rich in culture and history, Germany is a vibrant country that mixes Old World charm with thoroughly modern sensibilities. We provide opportunities to be an au pair in Berlin, Bonn, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich and other locations throughout the country. Working as an au pair, you’ll get a truly authentic German experience. While caring for your host family’s children, you’ll have plenty of time to explore historic sites, cultural events, outdoor parks and plenty of German food (bratwurst with sauerkraut, anyone?) You’ll never run out of things to do—with the children or on your own. You’ll also improve your German skills every day as you communicate with your host family, and you’ll have the opportunity to travel throughout Germany or beyond during your paid vacation.

As an au pair in Germany, you’ll receive:

  • Placement with a carefully screened host family
  • A private room and full board
  • A stipend of at least 260 Euros per month
  • 25 Euros per month toward the cost of your airfare
  • 2 weeks of paid vacation per year
  • At least 1.5 complete days off per week (at least 1 Sunday per month will be free)
  • Transportation card or the possibility to use the family car
  • Basic health, accident and liability insurance
  • ISE card - International Student & Youth Exchange Identification Card
