Au pair family handbook builder

Answer the questions one section at a time and the handbook fills in beside you: emergency contacts, the children, the daily routine, house rules and the rest of the twelve sections of our printable template. Print it whenever you like — a half-finished handbook prints too, with lines to fill in by hand where answers are missing.

Your answers are saved in this browser on this device, so you can come back later. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else, and there is no account. On a shared computer, clear everything when you are done: the handbook holds your children’s medical details and your address.

Welcome & Family Introduction

Always in the handbook. Anything you leave empty prints as a line to fill in by hand.

It goes on the cover: “The Weber Family”.

Parent 1: name, and what they do

Parent 2, if there is one

Any pets?

Which languages do you speak at home?

What matters most in your family?

Kindness, punctuality, learning — whatever you would tell them over dinner.

Where is the au pair’s room?

What is the Wi-Fi password?

Own bathroom, or shared — and with whom?

Each section starts on a new page, as in the printed template. Choose “Save as PDF” in the print dialog to keep a file instead.

The parts of your handbook that live in AuPairSync

Paper is for day one. The parts that change — a new dose, a new rule, a new pickup time — are easier to keep in one place that you and your au pair both open. These sections have a place in the AuPairSync app:

Emergency ContactsIn the app
Emergency contacts for the family and for each child: name, relationship, phone.
Daily Schedule & RoutinesPartly
Wake-up, meal and bedtime routines. School runs, clubs and pickups are not a routine type in the app.
Children’s ProfilesIn the app
A profile per child: allergies, medication, favourite food, activities, comfort items, friends.
House Rules & BoundariesIn the app
House rules sorted by category: house, safety, going out, pets, screens and media.
Kitchen & MealsPartly
Meal times as routines, and each child’s favourite food in their profile. Groceries and the kitchen rules have no place.
Transportation & Car RulesPartly
Car rules as house rules, in prose. The car, the licence and the insurance have no fields.
Technology & Screen TimeIn the app
Screen rules as house rules in the “screen and media” category.

Stays on paper: Welcome & Family Introduction, Household Tasks, Time Off, Pay & Benefits, Communication Expectations, Acknowledgement & Sign-Off.

The app does not read this handbook. You enter these parts in AuPairSync yourself; nothing you typed on this page is sent anywhere.
