Additional Costs & Conditions
The intake video meeting is only needed for the first placement and is a legal requirement to check out your home, the au pair’s room, and talk through the program’s rules. It’s also a great chance for us to meet you, get a feel for your home, and learn more about your family.
Intake fee video call : €139
Intake fee home visit : €159 (excl. € 0,25 per km and parking costs).
The Au Pair needs a go and return ticket before the program in the Netherlands may start.
In case of a Match on our platform:
Au Pairs are responsible for the average Go and Return flight. The Au Pair does an initial contribution during the application proces. We request the Host Family to prepay the remaining part. Host Family may waive the prepaid part of approx.€350 at the end of the program. As Au Pairs are not allowed to pay for their screening and the law obliges agencies to screen all Au Pairs, our Host Families are requested to cover these costs.
In case of a Match on another platform:
We request the Au Pair to pay for their full go and return flight costs before travelling to the Netherlands. As Au Pairs are not allowed to pay for their screening and the law obliges agencies to do screen all Au Pairs, our Host Families are requested to cover these costs.
If the case that the Au Pair is in the Netherlands on an Au Pair Residence Permit and needs or wants to leave the current Host-Family, another Host Family can take over this Au Pair. HBN will need to screen and check the new Host Family on all legal obligations and follow an legal procedure. The take-over costs depend on where the Au Pair is from and the amount of the time the au pair can still stay in the Netherlands.
Take over Admin Fee HBN Family:€695
Take Over Admin Fee New Family:€895
Please consult us directly on the further specific costs regarding the support & care fee.
This event fee is included in our support & care fee.
We include these fees because we know it is essential for the succes of our Program.
Our welcome training is organized on a monthly basis for all our newly arrived Au Pairs and we organize 3 yearly events.
