How much do au pairs earn in Centurion?
R8,000 to R15,000 per month is the usual full-time range in South Africa and it applies here. Shorter afternoon-only roles are paid pro-rata from that band. If you drive the children, agree the petrol arrangement up front — a per-kilometre reimbursement at the prevailing SARS rate is the norm.
Do I need a car to au pair in Centurion?
Yes, for almost every role. Estate living means gate access and short but constant drives between home, school and the sports field, and families want an au pair whose car can be registered for entry.
Which areas of Centurion have the most au pair work?
The estates — Irene, Midstream and Eldoraigne — account for most of the advertised roles. Listing the estates you can reach easily makes you noticeably simpler to shortlist.
