Spain

Duration of the stay: An au pair normally stays in Spain 3 to 12 months.

Age restrictions: 18 to 27 years.

Preconditions: You must be single without children.

Working hours:  30 per week, 2 evenings babysitting

Holidays/spare time: At least one day per week is free. Au pairs have no entitlement to holiday but in many cases 1-2 weeks of holiday can be agreed upon with the families.

Pocket money: 50-70 Euro per week (There is contradictory information about the exact amount)
Please note: Non-EU citizens are allowed to live as an au pair in Spain, but they are not allowed to work (and so be paid) as an au pair in Spain.

Travel costs / language course: The au pair is responsible for the costs of her/his travel and language courses. The au pair must have the opportunity of attending a language course.

Health insurance: EU citizens have all health costs covered by the Social Health Security of Spain. They need a European Health Insurance Card from their health insurance. Non - EU passport holders should enquire with their proper local authorities about what kind of medical insurance documents they must present.

Language skills: It is helpful if the au pair speaks a little Spanish and/or English, but this is no precondition.

EU Citizens: do not need a visa to become au pair in Spain. You just need a valid passport or a valid identity card. If you want to stay longer than 3 months, you must anounce this to the aliens registration authority.
 

Non-EU citizens: are allowed to live as an au pair in Spain, but they are not allowed to work (and so be paid) as an au pair in Spain.  If you want to live as an au pair in Spain longer than three months, you need a student visa from your local Spanish embassy. You also will have to prove that you can afford your stay as you are not allowed to work as an au pair. It is not possible that a person comes to Spain as a tourist and afterwards changes his status to be an au pair.  In order to get a visa for Spain you need the following: a valid passport, the completely filled in and signed visa application form, passport sized photos, a health certificate, a certificate of good conduct and the au pair contract. Before coming to Spain, the au pair must be enrolled in a Spanish language course.
