orientation check list?

[Anonymous]

Can anyone please share their "orientation checklist" for when your outgoing AP trains the new AP? thanks.

Oh. I am a first timer, but I wouldn't want my current AP to train the next one. I would want to do that myself. Maybe it would be different with a really amazing AP.

Current AP can definitely hlep with some tasks for orienting so you can focus on training the big picture things. This will save you a lot of time!

Current AP can show the new AP the following:

1. playgrounds
2. route to school
3. How to do and put away laundry
4. Get a library card
5. Where to fill up the car with gasoline
6. where to go grocery shopping
7. routes to friends' houses for playdates
8. route to extra curricular activities
9. where to put dishes away from the dishwasher
10. maybe even go to social security to get a number.

In addition to what's been shared, your AP now can also show the new one popular AP shopping sites (e.g. Target, the mall), sign up for gym membership, practice your home alarm!, how to clean up

We've never had the new AP train the old one. We just train the AP ourselves each time. I like it this way, because you can correct any mistakes or issues that you had with your previous au pair. We also tend to start pretty strict on rules, curfew and such and as we get more comfortable with each other tend to relax things over the course of the year as appropriate. I wouldn't want to start a new AP from the relaxed set of rules, I'd want them to start fresh again.
