Au-pairs must be between 18 and 26 years old. The stay as an Au-pair must last at least six months and no longer than one year. The host family should have German as their native language. If German is not the native language but is only the family language, no parent should come from the Au-pair’s home country. Additionally, at least one minor child must live in the host family.
Tip
You can find all valid regulations for Au-pair stays on the website of the Bundesagentur für Arbeit.
