Remember:
Be friendly and polite! Make sure you know the family’s name and when they want an au pair.
Have a pen and piece of paper with you in case you want to make notes.
If you do not understand a question the family is asking you, ask them to repeat or to speak more slowly.
You should match with the first family you feel comfortable with.
If you do not want to match with a family, please say no politely or email the family. You could say: “Thank you for
taking the time to contact me but...”
Use of a car / cell phone is a privilege – not all au pairs have access to cars or are given a cell phone.
