Great idea to upload your photo to your
profile
Although it is not a requirement, we strongly suggest you do
as most people tend to only view profiles with a picture. click on ‘edit
profile’ in the ‘manage profile’ area after you have logged on!! Your photo
needs to be a Jpeg or Gif and to be kept under 60KB
Select your family
You can make contact with several families, determine your visa requirements,
thoroughly checked their references and then decided on the family for which you
wish to work. The next step is to be clear about your requirements, salary,
timing, etc. and come to an agreement with the family concerned. Global-Nannies
provides you with a ‘letter of invitation’ for the family as a guide of offer to
the chosen aupair, we encourage you to request this of your chosen family.
Nanny-Network Chat
Would you like to contact other Aupairs in your area? When
you are a member the Nanny-Network online chat is available for you to find
other aupairs in the town and country in which you are working in. You can even
find aupairs of the same nationality as yourself to help experience your new
country in your time off or perhaps arrange mutual meeting in the local park
with the children of both families. Aupairing is an exciting experience but it
can also be lonely when you find yourself missing your family and friends. When
you click on “nanny-network Chat” in your aupair toolbox you will login using
the same user id and password to login into Global-Nannies.
First-Time Aupairs
Becoming an aupair gives you the opportunity to enrich your life as an
integral part of another family and culture. An aupair is not just a babysitter,
but as a big sister who is from an exciting, far away land. An aupair devotes
full attention to the children in the chosen family. You will learn their daily
routines and unique personalities and enjoy participating in their daily growth
and development. Think about the relationship you would like to form with a
family and the type of situation you would like to help you choose the right
family for you. Below are some are some guidelines to give you an idea of what
to expect when you work as an aupair for the first time:
Click here for further information on aupair and nanny Salaries. The aupairs
average weekly salary for 30-to-45 hours of childcare is AUD$100 – $200
depending on education, experience, responsibilities and hours.
An aupairs living expenses, which include a room and board, are covered by
the family, unless the aupair requires unique dietary items for which she/he
should be responsible. Also the aupair is responsible for all his/her personal
items such as toiletries, health supplements, hair care items, etc.
A private bedroom should be provided for the aupair. Extra amenities in the
room such as TV, stereo, phone, computer, are not required. but, many families
will provide those items for the comfort of the aupair.
The family will expect the aupair to pay for her/his long distance and
mobile phone calls.
If the aupair is required to drive the children to and from school and other
activities, and/or do the grocery shopping, the family pays for fuel, oil and
car maintenance. The family can expect the aupair to pay for fuel when she/he
uses the family car for her/his personal errands.
The aupair is generally responsible for her/his medical insurance/expenses.
Airfare for the aupair is usually negotiable. Families and aupairs often
split the cost of a roundtrip ticket. If the aupair does not have the money to
pay for her/his half of the ticket in advance, families can cover the cost and
deduct the balance from wages. :
