Au Pair from Germany in Sweden

Visa & paperwork for Germany citizens
EU free movement applies
As a Germany citizen, you have the right to live and work in Sweden without a visa or work permit. You only need a valid passport or national ID and to register with the local authorities after arrival.
Language overlap
Sweden doesn't share a language with Germany, but that's part of the appeal — most au pairs from Germany go specifically to learn one of the local languages: Swedish. Host families almost always speak some English.
What you'll earn in Sweden
Beyond the cash, host families in Sweden typically provide: Free room & meals, language course, English-friendly environment. Add up the savings on rent, food, and utilities and the real value is significantly higher than the pocket money alone.
