Important Information

Who Pays for What

•	The Au-pair will pay for their fare from their home country to the country of their destination and also for their onward ticket back home.
•	The Au-pair will pay for their registration fee (if required).
•	The Au-pair is expected to pay for their language classes and other language course fees such as exam entry fees.
•	If the Au-pair needs to travel to the language classes from a rural area and has to pay additional travel expenses, a contribution from the family towards this cost is common. Families in France and Germany will generally pay for the Au-pair’s travel pass.
•	Telephone calls are often a problem issue if it is not made clear from the start who pays for the Au-pair’s calls. It is entirely a host family decision; our experience shows that some families will allow the Au-pair to phone home twice a month and not charge them for the call. Some families will allow the Au-pair to make local phone calls for free. *These options can only be put into practice with an itemised telephone bill.*
•	If the Au-pair is to have use of a car, it has to be made clear from the beginning who pays for the petrol (including time off use); the Au-pair should also be included on a car insurance policy which is paid for by the family.
