At goAUPAIR, your Local Area Representatives will call your new Au Pair within the
first 48 hours to introduce themselves and to see how things are going. Your Local Area Representative then speaks with you and schedules an orientation. The orientation is a meeting with your Local Area Representative, you and your Au Pair and is completed within two weeks from the time your Au Pair arrives.Your Local Area Representatives has an orientation form; this form goes over discipline methods, house rules and U.S. Department of State regulations among other subjects. You can expect this orientation to last about one hour. At the end of this orientation, your family, your Au Pair and your Local Area Representative will sign the orientation document and the form is then sent to the goAUPAIR corporate offices to be recorded.
Welcoming your Au Pair home is one of the most important steps in creating a friendly environment in your home. Even if things don't go as planned, just keep a good attitude and use common sense, your family and your Au Pair will have a full year to get to know each other, adjust to changes and enjoy all the benefits of Au Pair child care and culture exchange.
