Conflicts

CONFLICTS

In the au pair stay problems can arise, as in any life situation, it is extremely important that you inform yourself what types of conflicts may arise to avoid them. However, they cannot always be avoided but you have to know how to handle situations with positive solutions.

Both the family and the au pair must be tolerant in the first weeks given the new situation. Families should not assume that the au pair will get to perform all their tasks perfectly from the first day, they should be patient when answering the questions that the au pair has. Also, if you do not fully use the language, families should remember that the au pair stay is also for the au pair to improve their language level.

Probably the au pairs feel a little sad at the beginning, this is very normal. It will only last a few days. We advise you to start making some friends to start feeling at home.

Our advice is to resolve things by speaking, being tolerant and sincere. Talk about how you are feeling and try to reach an agreement.

However, there are times when things have no solution. In those cases, you can terminate the contract and ask for a change of family or au pair.

If you have any questions or problems, remember that we will always be available to help you.
