[quote=Anonymous]The AP programs in Europe are much less regulated in the US.  If you want to Nanny in Spain, you will need to check the local regulations regarding working while on a study visa.  If you want to work regardless, you will surely find a family that needs a good babysitter, either occsaionally or on a recurring basis.  Many people (nanny and employer) use Greatuapair dot com for this type of search.  By definition, you won't be an Au Pair, since they live with the family who's children they care for and you will be living with your academic host family.

I will caution you that overseas, many "au pairs" are pretty general domestic workers with a lot of expectation for housework, laundry (parents as well as kids) cooking and yard work.  You would be smart to lay all your duties out in WRITING before committing, including what hours, how much pay per hour, how much pay when they are late or go over (they will!) and so forth.  You don't want to end up a scullery maid. [/quote]
