About

AuPairSync

Read full description

AuPairSync is the shared plan for a host family and their au pair. Parents and the au pair join the same family, and each of them gets their own view of it: who has the kids when, who does the pick-up, what still needs doing, and how many working hours are left this week. Working hours, counted for you • The au pair starts and ends a shift with one tap, or fills in a day later • Each week is submitted and the family confirms it, so both sides see the same total • The app counts against the hours you agreed and against the program limits: 45 h a week and 10 h a day for US J-1 au pairs, 30 h and 10 h for US EduCare, 30 h and 6 h in Germany • Every change to the agreed hours is visible to the au pair Schedules, pick-ups and hand-overs • One family calendar for school, activities, routines and time off • Every hand-over shows who drops off and who picks up • Someone outside the family can take over a pick-up. Parents set it in the event details, au pairs ask for it in the app, and it can be undone Everyday things • Tasks and chores, checked off with a photo • A shared shopping list. Type into "Ask or add something" and the items go on the list, several per line • A weekly meal plan • Messages and announcements for the whole family • Babysitting requests, time off, pocket money and expenses • Child profiles with allergies, medication and emergency contacts, plus an optional care log Built for both roles • Parents see on the Dashboard what needs them today • The au pair knows the day's plan before the kids wake up • Seven languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese and Chinese. Everyone picks their own Your family's plans stay within your family, and there are no ads. AuPairSync is made by a host family together with their au pair. Questions, ideas or bug reports: coba@aupairsync.com Subscription AuPairSync is free for 30 days, and you don't need to enter payment details. After that, one monthly subscription covers the whole family: both parents, the au pair and anyone who joins later. One person pays, and the au pair never does. The App Store shows the price in your currency before you subscribe. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. You can manage and cancel it at any time in your Apple ID settings.
