Being an au pair in Austria gives you the unique chance to spend 1-12 months in an Austrian host family and to get to know what live in Austria is really like. For appr. 25 hours per week, you will be entrusted with childcare and light household duties. You may be asked to do some babysitting for 1-2 evenings per week by arrangement. You should enjoy children's company, as you will be responsible for the children and their environment. You are expected to give quality childcare and become a reliable older "sister" or "brother" for the children, care for them and offer companionship, love and guidance. You will play with the children and supervise them, pick them up from the kindergarten or from school, prepare them light meals, keep order in the children's room, ect. The family has to know that the kids are in good hands with you. Additionally you may be asked to do light household duties (eg. ironing, light cleaning, washing, vacuuming, preparing light meals).
