| What is an au pair?
An au pair is quite literally a single
woman (or man) aged between 17 and 27 years who gives
household help in exchange for board and lodging. They
may live for up to 2 years with an English-speaking family,
where they must be given their own room and a weekly allowance
of at least £60. In return, they are available to help
in the home for up to 5 hours a day, with at least 2 days
off per week. However, the prime purpose of their visit
to the UK is to learn English and they should be allowed
to register with a suitable language school in order to
support their studies.
