[quote=Anonymous]I put a lot of detail into our online profile and mention many of the same points the previous post mentioned both in our profile and interview. But I don't share the handbook. Our handbook is very detailed with phone numbers, addresses, contact info, dr's info, schedules with chores, likes/dislikes of the kids for foods, discipline suggestions, etc, etc. We review it the first weekend. I also include fun activities in the area, best sites to check for events, best movie theaters or shopping, etc. I refer them back to it often in the first couple months. It is meant to help them with the kids and adjusting to life here. You can be detailed -- yet positive. I just don't want the comment, 'you never told me XYZ.' Yes, in fact, it's in writing. I allow my current au pairs to provide feedback on the handbook for the next au pair so it evolves over time. The best part -- you really only have to do it once. After that, you just tweak it each year. [/quote]
