Au Pair Salary Information


Au pair and nanny salaries (sometimes known as "pocket money") obviously vary according to a number of factors. Au pairs and nannies' hours and duties vary from host family to host family, and therefore so does the weekly amount of money they are paid. An au pair will normally receive fee accommodation and food in addition. Qualified nannies will normally be paid more than an au pair. The au pair salary information below is intended to provide a guide. It is taken from official government websites of the countries listed, and was last updated in October 2005. Families should of course always check the au pair salary guidelines for their own country, and not rely on the au pair information below which is merely intended to be helpful.
