Au pair, but live externally?

Hey ☺️
I'll be 18 this year and will finish school by then. I really want to move out, but I'm not sure how I'll finance it. I want to be independent, do a lot of sports, and devote myself to things I enjoy, like hobbies.

At the same time, I also want to feel productive, so I thought about being an au pair, partly because I enjoy working with children. I'd like to have that feeling of living alone and also be more independent. I'm also really afraid of being taken advantage of by my family (you hear a lot of stories about this).

That's why I was wondering if there was a possibility to live there away from the family in a room that would be paid for by the family or an organization.

Do you know a possibility or organization?

I'm also open to other suggestions, generally about living alone after graduating from high school, but on the one hand being productive and on the other hand pursuing one's hobbies and making it financially possible.

I'm really looking forward to answers 😊💗

Emma

Hello

a year abroad after school is a good idea. For your questions:

  • Au Pair and live alone will hardly be possible: The principle of Au Pair is that you are with the family all day. The additional costs for a separate apartment will hardly take over a family.
  • There are several other offers for a year abroad that might fit better. In particular, volunteer services and work and travel
  • Under the financial aspect, publicly funded voluntary services are best.
  • If you want to start this fall, you should take care of yourself quickly.

Procedure: The year abroad after school, in the Gap Year, is a larger project. You should do that systematically. There are

Hi.

as an Au Pair you don’t have to live with the family in a house. For example, I had a small bungalow in the backyard.

I was outrageous with the agency Kin g aupair. You don’t have to take an agency either. I can only recommend it.
