Demi Pair Programme

תאור הקורס

Travelling to England in the capacity of a Demi-Pair is an excellent way to improve communication skills and develop fluency in the English language, as well as an economical way of spending time in England.
The Demi-Pair Programme is a cultural exchange for young European people aged between 19 to 27 years.
A Demi Pair lives as part of the family and is expected to be made welcome as a family member. She is an extra pair of hands for a busy household and should be treated as part of the family, not an employee.
Duties include childcare and light housework such as cleaning, ironing, washing-up at mealtimes and helping with the children.
Demi Pair should not be asked to undertake heavy duty chores. A Demi pair may be asked to take children to and from school, assist with after school activities and supervise them in a responsible manner in the absence of the parents according to the instructions given.

The entry requirements to undertake a demi-pair programme are as followed:
19 years or over
Intermediate level of English (B1)
Previous work experience with children is required
This programme is available for EEU and non EEU students.
