Babysitting Requests & Medical Information
How AuPairSync handles extra hours and emergency medical access
Part 1: Requesting Babysitting Outside Regular Hours
The Scenario
You're planning: A date night, evening event, or weekend outing
The old problem: Awkward WhatsApp negotiations about extra hours, unclear compensation expectations, and mixed personal/business conversations
The Old Way: WhatsApp Chaos
Awkward negotiations: unclear requests, payment discussions mixed with personal chat, mismatched expectations
The AuPairSync Way: Clear & Fair Process
Create Babysitting Request Task
Create a task with date, time, duration, and special instructions (e.g., "Date night: 6 PM - 11 PM Saturday, dinner in fridge")
Clear request form with all details in one place
Au Pair Receives Notification
Au pair can accept or suggest alternatives without pressure
Your au pair gets a notification and can accept immediately or propose an alternative time - no awkward conversations needed
Accept or Decline with Reason
Au pair can accept immediately or decline with a reason (e.g., "Already meeting a friend on that night") - compensation amount is clearly displayed upfront
Clear accept/decline options with transparent compensation
Automatically Added to Calendars
Seamless calendar integration for both parties
Once accepted, the babysitting event appears in both your and your au pair's shared calendars automatically
Compensation Tracked Separately
Babysitting hours are tracked separately from regular tasks in the payment log - no awkward money conversations
Clear compensation tracking without awkwardness
"Clear requests, fair compensation tracking, no awkward money conversations"
Average response time: 2 hours vs 2 days via WhatsApp
Part 2: Emergency Medical Information Access
The Emergency Scenario
The situation: Child feels sick during parents' evening out
The old problem: Frantic calls trying to remember allergies, find doctor's number, explain medication dosages over the phone
The Old Way: Searching Through Messages
