Au Pair Rematch Planner for Families and Au Pairs

Contact your designated sponsor first. Then record their instructions, confirmed deadlines, housing and travel arrangements. This worksheet cannot approve a move, pause a deadline or guarantee a new placement.

Applications require 3–5 photos and no password. The team follows up by email after review. Family photos can show parents or shared spaces; children do not need to appear.

Stabilize the process

The first job is to avoid confusion and keep the next step within the right program process.

Sponsor contact Confirm deadlines, documentation, housing, travel, and interview rules with the official sponsor or local coordinator. Immediate needs List childcare coverage, housing, transportation, communication, and safety needs that cannot wait. Private details Avoid posting sensitive household or personal information publicly. Keep private details in reviewed channels.

Clarify the fit issue

A useful rematch explanation is short, factual, and future-focused.

What did not fit Identify whether the issue was schedule, expectations, driving, child ages, communication, location, privacy, or household rhythm. What must change Turn the issue into a filter for the next match: earlier schedule clarity, different ages, no driving, stronger language fit, or different household style. What remains flexible Keep enough flexibility that a good next conversation is not blocked by minor preferences.

Interview faster without rushing

Rematch interviews need sharper questions because the timeline is shorter.

First-call filters Discuss start date, location, child ages, schedule, driving, pets, room setup, and sponsor-approved timeline early. Second-call depth Use a second conversation for discipline style, communication, off-duty rhythm, cultural expectations, and conflict handling. Decision notes Write down what is confirmed, what is uncertain, and which questions still belong with the official sponsor.
