General Information

Families will want you to speak English to their children. If requested, the host parents will speak Spanish to the au pair to help them learn the language. We suggest that all applicants have at least 200 words of basic Spanish before they leave. Knowing some vocabulary will help you to settle in. There are good books and internet sites to learn from.
