Demi Au Pairs live in with a family, and work for the family for up to 20 hours per week, helping with childcare and housework. In exchange for working, families provide Demi Au Pairs with full board (bedroom and meals), a stipend, and transport costs to school and back.

My host family was just the best family I could have looked for. They made me really feel at home from the first day until now and I really see them as my second family in New Zealand. I had an amazing time with the children, my job was very varied and everything I did was so appreciated from all of them. They tried to involve me as much as possible in their family activities, which I find so good. When I was sad or had difficulties they were always here with open arms to help me and talk if I needed to.
I was never bored of the job or had no motivation to work, because my work was fun and that’s what it should be like!
I couldn’t be more thankful and happy to have had a family like this! I’m sure all the au pairs that come after me will have the best time of their lives here, just as I have, because all of them are so helpful, open-minded, they have big hearts and try to give you as much as possible to make this adventure unforgettable!
I will always keep them close in my heart and they will be my second family on the other side of the world.
