The Langton family from Auckland hosted 19-year-old au pair Simona, from Germany, through The Campbell Institute’s Demi Au Pair programme.
For working mum Rachel Langton, life was already busy when she found out she was expecting a third child.
“We were constantly needing an extra pair of hands,” she said.
The family opted to host 19-year-old au pair Simona, from Germany, through The Campbell Institute’s Demi Au Pair programme. The programme sees au pairs live with a family, helping with childcare and housework, and study for up to 20 hours per week, choosing from several English study options.
Simona was with the family when baby Dominic was born. For Rachel, it provided the perfect balance of support for the family while still enabling her to be the primary carer for the children.
