Host Family Starter Pack

Everything a new au pair needs to know about your household, written down once: house rules, an emergency sheet, and their first fortnight.

What's included

  • Household Handbook — the household, the children, the house, food, house rules, screens, driving and how you two talk to each other
  • Emergency and Medical Information — your country's emergency numbers, each child's allergies and medication, consent to treat, and who may collect them
  • Daily and Weekly Routines — the week at a glance, the school run, and mornings, evenings and weekends as they actually run
  • First Two Weeks Plan — what to do before they arrive, day one, shadowing, and the end-of-week and two-week reviews
  • Working Arrangement Summary — the shape of the week, what counts as working time, and the duties list that stops job creep
  • Daily Handover Notes — the thirty seconds at the end of each day that stops a small thing becoming a fortnight-old one
  • Emergency Numbers — a colour-coded poster for the fridge, with your country's researched emergency, poison and child-protection numbers
  • Every document in editable Word format and as a PDF — fourteen files in all

Who it's for

  • Someone new starts in your home soon and none of it has ever been written down.
  • You have explained the same six things three times and you are about to explain them again.
  • You want an emergency sheet on the fridge that a stranger could act on in thirty seconds.
  • A placement ended badly once and you would like to know why before the next one does.
