Visa & paperwork for Romania citizens
EU free movement applies

Language overlap
Austria doesn't share a language with Romania, but that's part of the appeal — most au pairs from Romania go specifically to learn one of the local languages: German. Host families almost always speak some English.
What you'll earn in Austria
Beyond the cash, host families in Austria typically provide: Free room & meals, social insurance, paid vacation. Add up the savings on rent, food, and utilities and the real value is significantly higher than the pocket money alone.
