An au pair is in charge of taking care of the children and lives within the home of the family. The au pair is provided accommodation and meals and a stipend of spending money. The family gains a loving caretaker for their children and an addition to the family. The idea of being an au pair is becoming more common in the Czech Republic. Expats have both found work, and employed, au pairs.
You could find a list of Au Pair agencies for Czech Republic on the Internet.

Another excellent place to look is in expat forums. Here, other expats can give advice on the services they use and what to look for.
An au pair will need to apply for a long stay visa. If hired through an agency, the agency usually guides the au pair through the process.
In addition, a work permit will be required. Along with the other requirements, a work contract with the prospective employer will need to be supplied.
