Au Pair work is not a stipulated job and therefore it is not a paid and legally regulated activity in Spain, it is a cultural exchange and live in program regulated by an international agreement, in which both parties must agree with the established conditions and ensure that the experience is enriching for everyone.

… a day and a half or two days off per week, (which are usually on weekends, as it is when parents tend to take care of their children), and one week of paid vacation every six months worked (or the equivalent according to pro rata).
… A well-organized schedule, so that the Au Pair can perform all her duties well, having free time to go to language school or wherever she needs to progress in her cultural and linguistic immersion.
… A day or two a week to speak in Spanish so that the Au Pair can improve it.

Diferencias entre una Au Pair y una interna.
Son dos perfiles completamente diferentes, pues ser Au Pair no es un trabajo estipulado y por lo tanto no es una actividad remunerada y regulada legalmente en España, se trata de una experiencia de intercambio cultural, es decir, tu familia se ampliará con una persona más que convivirá con vosotros de una manera amigable, contando con un dinero de bolsillo a modo de gratificación por las labores acordadas, mientras que una interna se rige por un contrato y un salario, con un horario y unas obligaciones y usualmente, no suele compartir los espacios ni los momentos familiares.
What happens if I get sick?
If you are part of the European Union, you have access to free public healthcare for with the European Health Card, otherwise you will have to take out private health insurance before your arrival in Spain.
The family will continue to pay you your weekly allowance and will offer you all the medication and care you need, just like any other family member.
What do I need to be an Au Pair since I am not a member of the European Economic Community?
A visa if your stay will be longer than 3 months, which you can request at the official language school, college or university where you enroll, in addition to private health insurance (usually between € 30 and € 50 per month).
Is it necessary to apply for the residence card to be an Au Pair?
If you are part of the European Economic Community, you can live here without it, but it would be irregular, not illegal, so we always advise you to request it. If you are not part of the European Economic Community, and your stay will exceed 3 months you will need one.
