What expenses should I expect?

• Premium Subscription , in case you decide to become a paying member at AuPair.com
• Agency processing fees, if you decide to go through a local agency
• Visa processing fees: Please note that as an Au Pair, you will be responsible for the fees involved in processing the visa to become an Au Pair.
