Our demi au pair programme in Edinburgh is especially for young women who wish to improve their level of a language in a cost effective way.
They do a 20 hour per week General English course in the language school in the mornings, and stay in a family home free of charge in return for helping to look after the children in the family home. The person is given a single room in the family house and recives full board, with all meals included whilst in the house.
There is also a small weekly payment for the duties that the person does in the house. Duties include looking after the children, by helping them get ready for school or nursery, taking them to local schools or nurseries, helping them at mealtimes, doing some light housework such as laundry, tidying or dishes. The details of this vary from family to family and it will be discussed prior to the formalisation of any placement. The young women who wish to apply for this programme should be between 18 and 30 years old with some experience in childcare.
Our au pair study programme is for a minimum period of 13 weeks.
PLACEMENT IN A FAMILY- procedure
1. On receipt of your request, we relay this request to our UK au pair placement office.
2. Once the UK office has assigned a provisional family for you, we send your file with all the relevant information and we indicate the day and time that the family wish to contact you by telephone.
3. After the conversation has occured between the young woman and the family, the two parties must confirm their mutual acceptance. SIf one of the parties does not accept, we will look for another family.
4. You must not reserve a flight or other tickets until the family placement process is complete.
5. You will receive details of your host family in writing and at this point it is recommendable to book your journey.
When you have your flight details, you must forward them to the host family, so that they can arrange to meet you at the airport or bus or train station on the day of arrival.
