Aupair applicants with in depth experience or qualifications are in a position to negotiate a rate above the minimum. Generally speaking you should have between 100-200 hours of babysitting experience or such like.
The above are guide lines. Each family has its own requirements.
Language classes are optional.
Health Cover is available through the reciprocal EU National Health arrangement. It is recommended that you take your own insurance if you prefer to see a private Doctor. The aupair is responsible for their own travel arrangements and costs.
We suggest that applicants learn some basic Italian prior to going.
Please note that the pocket money is just that. Should you wish to travel in Europe we suggest that you take additional money or a credit card with you.
