Studying English An important element of the au pair programme is learning English.

The majority of our au pairs arrive with at least basic conversational English, sometimes higher. They normally want to study at a local college and time must be given to attend classes. The schools normally plan the timetable to fit in with the standard au pair job so the au pair will be finished in time to collect children from school. The au pair is normally expected to pay for classes, although some families may wish to make a contribution.

The agency can advise on local classes, if required.
