Training and on-boarding:

To become knowledgeable about how the Au Pair Program works and to learn how to perform your LSC tasks, you’ll need about a year’s worth of experience. This year time frame is a typical duration of a family’s placement with an Au Pair and provides you with the full experience of supporting both parties, from start to finish.

To assist you with this learning process, your training is separated into two major groupings.

Group one occurs over the first two months: this new hire training and on-boarding process helps you learn about Go Au Pair, the Au Pair program, the rules, and regulations families follow and how to perform ongoing LSC tasks to support your area. This paid training is approximately 4 hours per week and includes reading, watching videos, self-exercises, and meeting with training personnel. During the first month, you will only be responsible for completing the training while your training mentor will provide support and service to your area until you’re finished – at which point the cluster will be handed off to you.

The second group of training is a 10-week program and occurs approximately 6 months after you’ve started. This training focuses on teaching you about the matching process and how you can help families find the right Au Pair. This paid training is approximately 3.5 hours per week and includes reading, self-exercises, and meeting with training personnel.
