there is nothing wrong with being an aupair it doesnt mean you are lesser of a person or because you are a mboch and get treated badly. Lots of white people also work as aupairs. the age limit is probably because aupairs are considered in most countries as young people who want to learn a foreign language and lifestyle of a different society so you would only get the visa to work as an aupair if you are below 26 as is the case in Germany, Switzerland and France. Its a very common practice in Europe. I went to college in Switzerland and then some friends and I worked as aupairs in Switzerland, Germany, spain and then France and before we finally settled to a career. the family is required to pay for your insurance and part of your education expenses as well as accomodation and a little pocket money. you are supposed to be parttime baby sitter and parttime student in Germany while and aupair. Having said that, I dont trust that it is safe to get an aupair job from a kenyan unless she has a particular family that they are sending you to. Otherwise I dont even think that you will get the visa. then you would end up in those countries suffering or as a prostitute. Its better to get the families online or through the german embassy. An aupair agency should only be in the country where they are sending the aupairs.

Just my opinion from experience.
