AU PAIR EVENT CALENDAR
HAPPY AU PAIR EXCHANGE!
Here are some of our tips to prepare for a happy au pair exchange :)
#Caring Host Family
Au pairs really want to be part of the family! Especially during the early days, your au pair would like to be included in all family activities, family meals and events. Your au pair should be invited to watch tv with you sometimes but also be allowed to be in their own room some evenings. In most European countries, having a family meal together is a big thing :). Talk about access to the fridge and pantry like other family members. In short, make her/him feel at home!
#Home & location
Your home is likely to be much bigger than ‘back home’. An au pair should have a nice bedroom with a bed, a wardrobe and maybe a desk. Your au pair should be able to close the door and maybe have a home made ‘do-not-disturb’ sign for the kids. Some au pairs may be lucky and have their own bathroom, however, this is not expected!
Your location should be within easy reach of public transport unless your au pair has access to a car. Our au pairs are placed in urban locations to make it easy for them to meet up with friends in the city or on the beach (Most au pairs love the beach and meet here with friends)
#Friends
Making friends from all over the world is an important part of the exchange program. We aim to introduce your au pair to other au pairs soon after arrival. At weekends, most au pairs organise to meet up and explore the city together or go to the beach. A great way for your au pair to make Australian friends is to join a local (sports) club or team.
