What they look for in an au pair

Someone responsible, mature, fond of children, able and willing to take the initiative, pro active and creative and ready to interact with the children in the foreing language parents request to the au pair.
 
This last item is quite important and similar to, for example, au pairing in China where parents demand a good command of English.

Spanish host parents are quite interested in their kids improving their foreign language skills —mainly English— and so, the au pair must have a good command of English regarless she/he can speak any Spanish.

Of course, there is an interest for French, German and Chinese speaking au pairs too.

Host parents have to address the au pair in Spanish to offer a fair balance.

What they do not look for in an au pair

Someone mistaken the true nature of the programme who:
  • Takes their home for a cheap hotel.
  • Does not interact with the kids.
  • Does not bother to be part of the family, share moments, meals...
  • Does not use foreign language to address the kids.
  • Hides away into her/him room at every chance.
  • Is not punctual, reliable, responsible and mature.
  • Is more devoted to her/his mobile than to the kids.
  • Behaves as a guest and not as a "big sister" or adult in the family.
  • Does not take any initiative if help is needed.
  • Becomes a burden more than a help.
