BUTRFLY’S CODE OF ETHICS
Butrfly is a digital agency that puts French families in touch with young au pairs who want to come to France. Our aim is to provide a unique experience for both Au Pairs and families in a climate of trust, ensuring adherence to our code of ethics.
Our values are caring, positive education, openness to others and sharing, all fundamental to our code of ethics.
Our credo: A simpler everyday life, a richer life, a more open world. Because these values are at the heart of our company and drive us every day, we want to make sure that all the families and au pairs who join BUTRFLY share our commitment to our code of ethics.
Adherence to our moral charter, which we refer to as our code of ethics, is therefore an integral part of our contracts.
Our moral charter is based on the following points:
1. A dual cultural exchange
The au pair stay offers young people of all nationalities the opportunity to live abroad for a time. The aim of the au pair stay is a two-way cultural exchange: the young au pair brings with him/her a new culture, a foreign language and thus an opening onto the rest of the world.
2. The notion of family
Considered as a family member in their own right, young au pairs stay with their host family and provide them with day-to-day support.
The host family receives the young au pair for a period of time and considers him or her to be their eldest son or daughter in their own right.
Le respect du code de ethics est primordial pour assurer une relation harmonieuse entre les familles et les jeunes au pairs.
Le code de ethics joue un rôle essentiel dans la création d’un environnement respectueux et en sécurité pour tous.
Nous encourageons tous les participants à respecter notre code de ethics pour garantir une expérience positive.
Tout au long de leur séjour, les jeunes au pairs doivent adhérer à notre code de ethics.
Le code de ethics est un guide pour toutes les interactions entre familles et au pairs.
For us, the code of ethics is more than just a document; it is a promise of respect and support.
3. The au pair: a support for the family, not an employeeAs part of their mission, Au pairs agree not to publish photos of their children, family or environment (accommodation....) on social networks. If they wish to distribute this type of photo, a request for authorisation of image rights must be made to the parents.
6. Working hoursWith regard to working hours, both parties are expected to be flexible. It may happen that the young au pair is required to look after the children a little longer than planned; in exchange, he/she will receive additional free time or financial compensation.
7. An organised and caring framework for drawing up the contract.The families and the au pairs are committed to drawing up a joint contract clearly defining all the tasks that will be assigned to the au pair, as well as the important aspects of the stay (holiday period / agreement on French lessons, etc.).
The contract signed by the 2 parties expresses their agreement on all these points.
All these points must be clarified before the arrival of the young au pair. If a family or a young person is not sure what to agree, we advise them to put themselves in the other person's shoes. For example, what would you want for your own child if he or she were to become an au pair? Host families who are used to welcoming young au pairs also know that it's only when the young au pair is satisfied that the children of the host family will be happy.
