Pay and employment status

GOV.UK says au pairs are entitled to National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage, so do not treat UK au pair cost as only pocket money.

Right-to-work checks

Before matching, confirm the candidate can legally work in the UK and keep evidence of the check.

Living and household costs

Budget for room, food, utilities, transport, phone, family activities, and any agreed learning or travel support.

Platform and safety costs

Include membership, identity checks, references, insurance review, and time spent preparing a clear family profile.

Ejemplo de planificacion

Use wage rules as the floor

For UK arrangements, start from current minimum wage guidance and then add accommodation, food, insurance, and platform costs.

Avoid vague “pocket money” budgeting

If the relationship is work, a low allowance can create compliance risk and poor match quality.
