[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have an au pair starting this summer and we are doing the extra zoom calls with her, but aside from that what things should we be doing now to get things ready for her?  
ex-
 Do we provide her a cell phone? 
are there certain things we should get for her room? (besides furniture- ie bed, dresser, desk, end table)
Other things that would be helpful to know for first time au pair parents? 
Do we make a "house rule" book?
Provide a common schedule for the kids? 
Make a list of fun places in the area? 
What tips are helpful for her transition to our family routines and incorporating some of her family routines?

We really do want to make her feel at home and to let her know we want her to be a part of the family and we're looking for tips on how to make sure she feels welcome but also to help make her adjustment to US life easier.  She will be coming from a european country, but from a place in a very country area, so not big city at all. [/quote]

Didn't The agency give you a phamplet with this information?[/quote]
