Yes. Au Pairs do not automatically receive national holidays off. However, au pairs should talk with your host family about which holidays the au pair will have off. If the au pair would prefer to have their own country‘s national holidays off, discuss this with the host family. Keep in mind that the family is not required to give au pairs holidays off, so try not to ask for too many. When the au pair and host family have reached an agreement about holidays with the family, write them down so that there is no confusion in the future.
Au Pairs, although New Year's Eve falls on a Friday this year this does not mean that you will have that day off from work. Many host parents still have to work on this day and most host families will want to go out at night. Please discuss the au pair schedule with the host family prior to making any plans for this day/evening. An open discussion is the best tool to avoid any misunderstandings about the au pairs expected schedule for that day. I suggest having the au pair cluster celebrate New Year's on another night. Perhaps on Saturday night the au pairs could get together and have some fun.
