I confirm that I have answered all questions honestly and that all information in the application is true.

I accept that the au pair Agency show my au pair profile to the prospective families.

I agree to cover all costs for language courses, travel to and from my host country and any debts incurred (e.g., telephone bills, etc), travel with a valid medical insurance and/or European Insurance card. I shall bring emergency funds with me to pay for unforeseen expenses.

I understand that my childcare duties are of prime importance and I shall carry them out responsibly in a caring and considerate manner. I shall seek the advice of the host family before administering any form of discipline on the children. Under no circumstances shall I hit the children or leave them alone. I understand that I shall be asked to undertake light household duties and to make a fair contribution to the cleanliness of the ‘common’ areas of my host family’s home and I agree to keep my own room clean and tidy.
