Aupair in Spain for 9 months which type of visa should I get?

Aupair in Spain for 9 months which type of visa should I get?
I am planning on being an aupair in spain for 9 months, and I need to have a visa. I will not be a full time student in spain to consider a student visa (although i will take a language class) and I do not have a source of income (like it suggests on the residents visa). I do not know if searching for a job to get a work visa is even probable. Any suggestions on what I should do?

But...you HAVE a job, right? As an Au Pair? Doesn't the FAMILY sponsor you to get a visa?

Your question contradicts itself. It starts off saying you're going as an au pair, and finishes with you looking for work! If you're not from a European country, but from a country like the US, Canada, Australia etc you can visit Spain for 90 days as a tourist without a visa. To work in Spain you need to have a work visa organised before you travel, you cannot go there and look for work - that's highly illegal. To study in Spain you need to be accepted by a Spanish school or university first, then apply for a study visa. To work as an au pair you need to have a job organised first, and as an au pair it's better to do this through an agency, then apply to the Spanish Embassy in your country for a long stay visa and explain clearly that you will be working as an au pair. The agency should be able to help you with this.

This is an issue that the Au pair agency that you have found work through should help you with. You don't even tell us your nationality, which would also make a difference ... http://www.tumbit.com/how-to-guides/articles/120-au-pairs-in-spain.html
