Frequently Asked Question

Unfortunately that is not possible. The main task of an au pair is childcare.

In this case, only a household help would be considered.

Quote from "AuPair in German Families" by the Federal Employment Agency:

"Families are considered to be married couples of the same or opposite sex as well as unmarried couples with at least one child under 18 years of age living continuously in their household. Single parents with at least one child under 18 years of age living continuously in their household are also considered a family. The definition of family in this sense does not include single persons or couples, spouses or domestic partners without children."
