    We've used www.aupair.com twice with great success.
    We take only girls from Slovakia because we want them to speak only Slovak with our child.
    We give them some other light chores to do, cleaning, ironing but not much really. They must get their own room and all expenses paid. We only pay for the flight if they stay for more than 6 months.

    Ok so I am a student with no summer job. I have decided to become an au pair for the summer. I got in contact with a nice family, three kids; they live in Madrid and want me to start straight away. But here is the catch, I have to pay for my own flights and they are going to pay me 75euro a week. Does that seem right, 75euro a week for three children and I have to work 10hours a day. That’s 50cent an hour per child.

    we found our au pair through this site.

    plenty of interviews if possible, try to work out the au-pair hours and how much your willing to pay. get references if possible.
