Find an Au Pair in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein's compact layout is a real advantage here: an au pair living in Langenhoven Park or Universitas is minutes from most schools rather than half an hour away in traffic. Families in the city often want help with Afrikaans and English homework as much as with the lifts themselves. Read profiles for free, and only pay when you are ready to reach out.

What an au pair costs in Bloemfontein
Full-time au pairs in South Africa typically earn R8,000 – R15,000 per month. There is no separate Bloemfontein rate: where a role lands inside that band depends on the hours, whether it is live-in or live-out, the number and ages of your children, and how much driving you need. Part-time roles are normally paid pro-rata from the same band.
Petrol is handled separately. Where an au pair uses her own car for school runs around Langenhoven Park and Universitas, families usually reimburse per kilometre at the prevailing SARS rate rather than folding it into the salary.

How much does an au pair cost in Bloemfontein?
Full-time au pairs across South Africa typically earn R8,000 to R15,000 per month, and Bloemfontein is no different. The shorter afternoon roles that are common here are paid pro-rata from that band. Add a per-kilometre petrol reimbursement at the prevailing SARS rate if the au pair drives your children.
Do au pairs in Bloemfontein need their own car?
It helps, but this is one of the few cities where it is not always essential — Universitas and Langenhoven Park sit close enough to several schools that a walking or lift-club arrangement can work. Say in your advert whether driving is required, so candidates without a car know where they stand.
Can an au pair help with Afrikaans homework?
Many can. Bloemfontein has a large pool of bilingual au pairs, so if homework help in Afrikaans matters to you, put it in your advert and check it during the interview — it is one of the easier requirements to fill here.
