Yes. Au Pairs do not automatically receive national holidays off. However, each au pair should talk with their 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 the au pair holidays off, so try not to ask for too many. When the au pair and host family have reached an agreement about holidays, write them down so that there is no confusion in the future.
