Please be aware that these are standard programs.   Of course as an Au Pair you have to keep in mind that not every family is able to offer you one of these standard programs.  Depending of the circumstances of the parents, if both are working outside the house, shifts, etc... Some Au Pairs work hard for several days, and therefore will have to be compensated with time off.  This occurs in families where the parents are working for example as a doctor, nurse, artists or have to travel from time to time.  This is why it very important to have a good and open communication with your favourite selection of host families, before you make a final decision.
