The Au Pair Starter Kit™

You've got the mindset. Now let's get you prepared.

This kit gives you five practical tools to use before and during your first weeks in a host family home. No fluff, no overwhelm, just the things that actually matter.

Inside, you'll find:

• A pre-arrival checklist that takes the "did I forget something?" panic off your plate, covering documents, research, and personal prep so nothing slips through the cracks.

• 30+ questions to ask your host family, organised by category, so you walk into your placement informed instead of guessing. The questions you wish you'd known to ask, handed to you ready-made.

• A packing guide that tells you what actually earns its place in your suitcase, including a note on arrival gifts and how to make your room feel like yours from day one.

• A first-week quick reference card with the exact phrases to use when you're not sure what to say, plus the daily habits and things to notice that set the tone for your whole placement.

• Weekly reflection prompts for your first month, four simple questions that catch the small stuff before it becomes the big stuff.

The Au Pair Advantage gave you the mindset. This gives you the tools to act on it. It's the difference between knowing what matters and actually having everything in place to do it. You get the practical groundwork that takes the guesswork out of your first weeks, so you can focus on what really matters: settling in, building relationships, and making the most of the experience you've worked so hard for.
