Host family requirements and conditions
All you need to become a host family in Sweden
The Au Pair will not only provide reliable child care, but also become a big brother or sister to your children, thereby becoming a new member of the family. As you live together, you will learn about another way of living and experience a once-in-a-lifetime adventure with a stranger whom you will get to know pretty well. In order to host an Au Pair, you must meet the following criteria: ✓ one or more children under 18 live in your household
✓ swedish citizens or legal permanent residents
✓ speak Swedish in your everyday family life
✓ provide an appropriate private room and three meals a day and salary minimum SEK 4,830 for 25 hours of care (maximum 5 hours per day)
✓ provide health insurance for the duration of your Au Pair's stay
✓ provide a language course that fits with the working hour in your family.
✓ minimum of 2 day off per week and a minimum of 2 weeks of paid vacation for a one-year stay
✓ include the au pair as part of the family, whenever possible, in family outings, holidays, and other events during the au pair stay (maximum duration: 12 months)
