FINNISH-SPEAKING AU PAIR TO BELGIUM
Location: Brussels, Belgium

Pocket money: 450 € per month + many benefits (see text)
Start date: Ideally in early December (flight home for Christmas provided), January start also OK
Duration: 6–12 months

Description: A multilingual family living in a lovely part of Brussels, in a residential city location, but close to restaurants, shops, and public transportation. This family consists of a single, professional mother and a 2-year-old child who is learning both Finnish and French. A new baby is due in the spring.
The child is in a nursery full-time. The Au Pair’s work shifts are short, a maximum of four hours per day. The planned schedule is Mon-Fri 1,5 hours in the morning to get the child ready for nursery and take them there, and 1,5 hours in the evening mainly to play with the child. A few hours of help may also be requested either on a Saturday or Sunday, but there is always a minimum of one full day off each week.
The family employs a cleaner, so the Au Pair’s household duties include only tidying and light cleaning, such as mopping the kitchen floor after the child’s meals. When the new baby arrives, the duties may change slightly, but the Au Pair is never responsible for the baby’s care, only there to help the mother.
The benefits include language classes, medical insurance with repatriation, a monthly public transportation card, a flight to/from Brussels, at minimum one return flight home during your stay, and possibly many other trips with the family domestically and internationally. By law, you must attend language classes (typically French) throughout your stay.
The ideal Au Pair would be someone who is friendly and happy to become a part of the family, and able to take initiative. Some previous childcare experience with checkable references is required, and it would be a bonus if you already have experience with toddlers.
