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 very much 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.
 
Families registered with
Destino Idiomas compromise (parents) to speak in Spanish to the au pair so there is a fair balance.

What they do not look for in an au pair
