Au pair in Denmark

The au pair scheme is officially a cultural exchange programme but over the last years it is FOAs experience that some families consider the au pair scheme as a way of getting cheap labour and sometimes forget to respect the regulations in the au pair scheme.

Most often we encounter that au pairs have problems with:

Working hours and lack of payment
Illegal work tasks
Holiday and/or holiday payment
Evictions from host families
Payment of e.g. plane ticket.
