The programs involve simple but responsible work. In most cases, you will be looking after the children. Having a driver's license will also be an advantage, because you will have to take the children to school, and at home help with homework and organize leisure time.
Experience as a teacher or nanny and basic language proficiency will be a big advantage. However, some families will happily accept a foreigner in order to improve their own level of English.
