South Africa can offer a live-in or a live-out Au Pair Program. It is advisable to have the support of a well established Au Pair Agency registered with the South african Department of Home Affairs who may be able to sponsor the au pair.
A legal South African au pair work permit is required for a non-citizen, which allows the au pair to work.
An applicant from outside South Africa must cover their own expenses such as :-
Medical Insurance
Airfare
Language courses if required
Some initial pocket money is required
Dear Family Letter.
Contact the South African Embassy or Consulate nearest to you in your home country for application forms and ask for further up-to-date information.
