100% free Au-Pair & Nanny Jobs in 2025
What is the au pair scheme? If you are a young foreign national interested in learning about Danish language and culture, you can apply for a residence permit in Denmark as an au pair.

By participating in the family’s daily life on the same terms as other family members, you will gain valuable insight into Danish culture. The host family will provide you with food, accommodation, and a monthly allowance (pocket money). In return, you are expected to take part in ordinary household chores. It is always 100% free including the air-fares, transport, insurance and medical/hospital support through the Yellowcard, wich is a standard in the EU.

Red Ribbon – For Philippine Citizens
Philippine citizens traveling as au pairs must obtain an exit permit (“Red Ribbon”) from Philippine authorities. Your host family must have specific documents authenticated by the Philippine Embassy in Copenhagen and send them to you. For details, visit the embassy’s website. If your host family needs a copy of your Red Ribbon application, they require a power of attorney from you. Without it, they can only access the au pair contract, not the full application. The Philippine authorities decide on exit permits, and neither the Danish Embassy in Manila nor SIRI can assist if your permit is denied.
