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.
