Hello and welcome!

Working as an au pair is a great way to become familiar with another culture, discover life abroad, and/or to practice and improve a foreign language.

What advice would you give to prospective au pairs in Belgium?

How did you find your family? Are you part of an agency? How did you find your agency – by putting up an ad or through word-of-mouth? You may use EasyExpat’s Au Pair listings in Belgium.

How do you like the work and your family? Are you offered pocket money? What tasks are you asked to do – cleaning, cooking, or just childcare? Do you have free time?

What other activities do you like to do? Are you able to make friends? Have you had to learn the language?

Please share your experience with the other forum members. Many thanks in advance!

 

Thanks for sharing your experience Ana Elisa Miranda! It sounds like a really positive experience and hopefully will encourage others to follow their au pair abroad dreams

What did you do after your au pair experience? Did it help you find further jobs and opportunities? Are you still in contact with the family you worked with?

Thanks again Ana! Anyone else have questions or experiences to share?
