Our demi au pair programme in Galway 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 Galway in the mornings, and stay in a family home in or around Bray 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.
