Au Pair & Host family how to get along 互惠生与寄宿家庭如何相处
Good communication is the cornerstone of a successful au pair arrangement. Be proactive in explaining your expectations regarding duties and schedules, and invite your au pair to share their thoughts. For example, one host mom admitted she was unhappy with certain things but stayed “friendly” and never told the au pair, so the au pair assumed “everything was fine” (Confused First Time Host Family : r/Aupairs). The lesson: don’t bottle up issues—schedule regular check-ins to talk. A weekly chat to ask how your au pair is adjusting and to offer feedback or praise can work well.
