 The term au pair is French which means on equal terms. An au pair is a young person between 18 & 30 years old who becomes a temporary member of a family. Usually, it's a young girl (90 %) but more and more often, young boys are taking the opportunity to improve their language skills and get acquainted with a new culture.
In exchange for free board and lodging, a private room and pocket money (70 € a week), the au pair will take care of children and help with light housework including vaccuming, dusting, preparing the table for meal times and emptying the dishwasher.
IH Murcia is not an au pair agency. We help you use to find a caring and kind Spanish host family and make all the necessary arrangements without using an agency so you will save a vast amount of money. Please note that we can provide this service in Murcia only.
General information:
- Fees: 490 € no matter length. A 2 week Spanish intensive language course is included.
- Duration of the stay: from 3 to 12 months.

- Travel costs / language course: The au pair is responsible for the costs of her/his travel and language courses. The au pair will have the opportunity of attending a language course in our school longer than the contracted two week period.
- 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.
- 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 in our school.

This course is designed for students who wish to improve their knowledge of Spanish during a short stay in Spain. The biggest problem one will find in learning a new language is developing fluency; so, this course emphasises even more the communicative approach of our method.
The course is based on the Intensive Course 20 but built on a 25 lesson per week basis. In this extra daily lesson students will be able either to revise specific issues as grammar, communication or Spanish culture themes.
