The right au pair for the right Family

 Date: 15.03.19

From 1 April 2019 the host family must give the au pair a minimum of 5.900 NOK per month as pocket money/salary (before taxes). In addition, the host family must pay a minimum of 8.850 NOK per year (740 NOK per month) for the au pair’s Norwegian language course and study materials.
