We have received news of an opportunity to work in the Basque Country that might be very interesting for youth from the Diaspora: a family in Gasteiz is looking for an au pair that knows English to take care of two kids starting in June. The job consists of picking up a six-year-old girl and her eight-year-old brother from the Ikastola during the school year, and taking care of them during the day in summer. The family speaks Basque and they would like someone who is interested in the Basque culture and language and they would help that person learn and practice Basque. The au pair would be treated as a member of the family, would have his/her own room, and would be compensated 70 Euros a week for expenses.
