House Rules: A Guide to Our Home

Your relationship with your au pair will benefit by prioritizing clear communication. To help your family proactively communicate your expectations with your au pair, Cultural Care provides host families with a template to organize all the information your au pair will need. You will include your household contact numbers and address, home health and safety information, details about your children and their activities, ongoing responsibilities, and guidelines for social media posts and house visitors.

We recommend sharing this detailed information with your au pair during the interview process and going over it together upon their arrival to your home as part of their orientation experience. Referring to the guide during your year together will contribute to your success as a host family!
