having an au pair in the UK

Life is easier with an au pair at home

Welcoming an au pair in your home is an excellent way not only for your children to learn Spanish, but also to have the opportunity to experience another culture from their own home.

Welcoming a Spanish au pair means temporarily having an “additional member in the family”, which will help you look after your children and will be an extra pair of hands for the parents in all kid related tasks. In return, you will provide the au pair with accommodation and food, integrate them into your family and culture, as well as with some weekly pocket money.  You will also need to facilitate their English learning if they wish to attend an academy or similar.

It carefully checks all the references and sends you all the documentation of those Live-in Au Pairs or Live-out Au Pairs or Host Families which it considers that best match your needs.

Our bilingual team shall provide you with a customized service, helping you in every step of the way to find a Live-in Au Pair or Live-out Au Pair or Host Family.     

We are available, during the entire Au Pair’s stay, to help both parties at any time.

 

RATES AND PAYMENT

The Host Family shall pay a deposit or down payment to ninetonineworld for the registration in the au pair program. This will be applied to management expenses and just 50% will be refundable, only if ninetonineworld does not find any candidates that match their profile.

The remaining fees will be paid once the agreement between the Live-in Au Pair or Live-out Au Pair and the Host Family has been signed and before the Au Pair arrives at the host family’s home. Should the payment not be made within this period of time, the client (the host family) shall be automatically out of the program and the other party to the agreement shall be available again, except in the case of previous notice to ninetonineworld along with a justified cause.

Ninetonineworld reserves the right to take the legal actions it deems appropriate against those clients who do not meet their obligation for payment of the corresponding fee or who have made a fraudulent payment.

The rates for the host families will depend upon the time period for which they are going to need the au pair. In the event this period were extended by mutual agreement, notice must be provided to the agency as soon as the decision is made.

Ninetonineworld reserves the right to modify the rates at any time, whether with increases or special offers. The client shall be responsible for checking the current rates on the website at each particular time before requiring the service.

The clients must make sure beforehand that they have the financial ability to pay ninetonineworld for its services. These terms comply with the English legal system and infringement may give rise to judicial proceedings.

 

REIMBURSEMENTS AND REPLACEMENTS

If the Host Family decides to terminate the placement as a result of a serious infringement by the au pair, the client must inform ninetonineworld as soon as possible (giving two weeks’ notice at least).

Ninetonineworld, subject to communication with both parties, reserves the right to decide what constitutes a serious infringement and whether the client is entitled to a replacement and/or reimbursement.

Should ninetonineworld deem appropriate to replace the family or the au pair, it cannot, however, ensure that there will be any candidates promptly, but it will endeavor to give priority to these clients over new ones.

The families and the au pairs are offered a one-month warranty as and from the start date of the au pair’s stay. During that time, if there were any problems between both parties, ninetonineworld could offer the host family a replacement and a new host family to the au pair, in accordance with the provisions of these Terms and Conditions.

Upon expiration of the warranty period, the hiring will be deemed satisfactory and binding, and ninetonineworld shall have fulfilled all its obligations. If the services were to be discontinued after the ending of the warranty period, ninetonineworld may, at its own discretion, charge the client again.

 

AGREEMENT TERMINATION: NOTICE OR MISCONDUCT

There can be different causes for agreement termination. Ninetonineworld is aware that each case is unique and shall, therefore, study each particular case and try to settle it in the fairest possible way and mediating in the best way possible.

In the event of incompatibility, a genuine lack of understanding or incompetence on the part of the ninetonineworld au pair and subject to a discussion with us, if a solution is not reached and the au pair program needs to be terminated, the two weeks’ notice period will begin, during which, in accordance with the guidelines of the program, the au pair shall perform his/her ordinary tasks and the host family shall comply with everything that had been agreed with the au pair (lodging, board, pocket money, etc.).

Both sides must give each other the notice established in the contract signed by the ninetonineworld au pair and the host family, and they must, in any case, inform ninetonineworld in writing of the reasons for the said notice.

Should this notice period not be complied with by the family, the host family shall be responsible for paying their au pair, in cash, the amount corresponding to 2 weeks of pocket money , board and lodging during this period , plus any additional return travel costs that may arise from the early termination of the placement.

Except in the case of extreme circumstances, if the ninetonine au pair abandons the host family without observance of the notice period, the ninetonineworld au pair shall lose his/her right to be assisted by ninetonineworld and will have placed him/herself out of the ninetonineworld program, being liable for any damages caused to ninetonineworld as a consequence of his/her abandonment.

Even if the host family and the ninetonineworld au pair reach a mutual agreement so that the ninetonineworld au pair can leave the home without observance of the notice period, the host family must give him/her time to find another family or take the necessary steps to return to his/her home country.

In the event of misconduct of the host family or of the ninetonineworld au pair, the other party must consider the commitment made terminated immediately. Misconduct implying any risk or danger will require police intervention. Both sides must inform ninetonineworld promptly so that it can take the measures it deems most appropriate.

In the event that the misconduct is on the part of the ninetonine au pair, he/she will be expelled from the program and must bear the costs of returning to his/her country. In such cases, the host family shall be responsible for providing him/her with lodging for (1) days from termination. We recommend that the ninetonine au pair gets in touch with ninetonineworld to be assisted in the return trip.

If the ninetonineworld au pair leaves due to misconduct on the part of the host family, the host family has an obligation to provide him/her with and pay him/her a suitable 

lodging and the board for two (2) days from the moment the ninetonineworld au pair leaves the home. The host family also has an obligation to arrange and pay for the return trip to his/her home country if, during those (2) days, ninetonineworld does not find a suitable host family for the au pair or if he/she decides to go back home.

In the event of infringement, ninetonineworld reserves the right to exercise any relevant legal actions against the host family.
