Keep in mind that there is always an adjustment period when you hire an aupair. Try to be patient and supportive and remember that your aupair is in an unfamiliar environment with all new people. A little bit of love and encouragement goes a long way.
Be specific about the responsibilities and schedule. An aupair wants to find a family that can be trusted and who would not take advantage of her/him.
Be clear about your expectations and if something is not going as you had hoped, talk to your aupair. Nine times out of ten, most situations can be resolved through open and loving communication.
Treat your aupair with the same respect and consideration that you would like to receive from her/him.
Try to remember that your aupair wants to feel like a part of the family. Include them in activities even when they are off duty.
