Au-pair Germany is a cultural program, sponsored by the Federal Republic of Germany. The program gives opportunity youths to travel, get to know German culture, cuisine, everyday life, improve their German language skills and get friends. The program is for one year, but you can return sooner than planned, if you want.
Content of the program:
Au-pair arrives to Germany, lives in a German family, adapts to the family, adapts to their daily life, learns about culture and cuisine, becomes a family member, visits to German courses for which the host family provides money (usually 50 euros per month).The host family gives accommodation, full board, medical insurance, bicycle and if applicant has driving license, the family gives a car to participant. Most of families provide a public transport ticket, pocket money 280 euros, and more depending on host family. They also provides the participant with a separate room with its own furniture, a separate bathroom, possibly a separate kitchen, in some cases the families provide a separate apartment, and Au-pair does something for family, like as caring of children and some works by house. Usually Au-pair is busy 5-6 hours a day, no more than 30 hours a week and have two full days off per week, or one full day and one full day. -3 hours, this depends on your overall daytime work schedule, if you work 6 hours a day then you have 2 full days free.
Why the German families do this all for the Au-pair?
These families are usually very rich, they are serious specialists, software developer, lawyer, doctor etc. or have their own business, and they pays huge taxes, so when they take place in this program, they register the applicant on their address, and shows all the document to their tax service and during one year they give less taxes.
Responsibilities of the host family:
-Provide participant medical insurance
-Provide au-pair participants with pocket money starting from 280 Euro per month
-Provide the participant with 70 Euro for the language courses
-The participant can spend his or her free time how he/she wants.
-Provide the participant with a separate room with its own furniture, a separate bathroom
-Provide paid vacation to the participant, 28 days for 1 year
-Provide the participant with an internal traffic ticket

The family also helps the applicant to buy air ticket to Germany, it must discuss au-pair with family in advance.
The Family sometimes provides the participant a mobile phone and sim.
All the conditions are fixed in the contract which would be made between family, applicant and inviting German organisation, this organisation also signs this contract and put his stamp on it, it means the organisation is responsible for au-pair and also for family.
