[quote=Anonymous]By management, I mean day-to-day tasking, scheduling, training, vacation/time-off requests, etc.  In our family, I do most everything with regards to our au pair.  I select and interview, choose our final match, do all the sending of emails and information before she comes, set up her room, arrange her travel to our home, write the handbook, do training with her when she arrives, take her driving, do her schedule, I'm the one she comes to if she has questions or needs something, etc.  My spouse pretty much does nothing.  However, we've recently been having some issues with our au pair and now suddenly he wants in on the planning.  I think it's been a bit confusing for our au pair because she'll hear one thing from my husband and another thing from me occasionally.  I'm wondering if anyone has any guidance or thoughts to share on co-managing an au pair - how you handle disagreements about how things should work, whether you talk things through with your spouse first before giving her any answers on things she needs, etc.[/quote]
