Skilled au pairs

Skilled au pairs, as the name implies, refers to au pairs who hold additional skills, in any one of a number of categories which could include a certain level of profiency at cooking, fitness, tutoring, sport, horse riding, IT, languages, martial arts, music, swimming, etc.

Their level of skill will vary from being proficient to instructor level, but it should be assumed that they hold a level of competence deemed necessary to instruct children or adults either formally or informally. 

Obviously, when you communicate with your prospective au pair, you should question them more on their specific skill area.  If you require a specific level of competence then it would be worthwhile to request certificates and references supporting their level of ability.

A skilled au pair would be a great addition to your family, especially if you have older or active children to keep occupied during the holidays and weekends.  Skilled au pairs may also be of assistance to parents, in areas like tennis coaching, IT or even languages.  An au pair couple can be particularly useful in helping to run an efficient and organised home environment.
