Au Pair Work-Study Program: How it works

In exchange for childcare in English, au pairs are treated as family members while they take advantage of cultural and educational opportunities.

One of our participating Spanish families invites you as an au pair to assist with childcare duties speaking in English for two to five hours a day, five days a week. Room and board are automatically included. When you have accumulated 25 hours, you will recieve a 50 € stipend, approximately 40 USD.

We hope that for you the exposure to a dynamic country like Spain, enjoyed from the security of a stable family environment, will insure lasting relationships and enduring memories for years to come.

The Language Classes

To help you adapt better this program provides language support by combining studying in an established Spanish academy in Madrid while you are living with a Spanish family. The academic services include grammar, vocabulary and conversation classes (depending on your level). The language classes are an integral part of the program because they provide cultural activities and they give you contacts with peers in Madrid.

Fun and Cultural Activities

You will also have included organized activities for free or at student prices with the opportunity to make many friends, including Spaniards.
