A successful au pair experience thrives on open, honest communication. Living and working closely together can bring challenges, but with the right tools, families and au pairs can navigate them smoothly. At Auost, we understand the importance of regular feedback, which is why we created a flexible, easy-to-use Feedback & Review Template designed to foster connection, clarity, and growth throughout the au pair journey.

Why Regular Feedback Is Essential in the Au Pair Program

The goal of the Feedback & Review Template is to create a safe space where both au pairs and host families can share their thoughts, celebrate progress, and address concerns constructively. This ongoing dialogue helps prevent misunderstandings from escalating and builds a foundation of mutual trust and respect.

Benefits of Using a Feedback & Review Template

• 💬 Prevents misunderstandings: Early conversations stop small issues from becoming bigger problems.
• 🤝 Strengthens trust: Open dialogue nurtures respect and a positive working relationship.
• ✅ Gives everyone a voice: Both au pairs and families can express their needs and expectations.
• 📈 Tracks progress: Regular reviews help monitor goals and personal development.
• 💡 Resolves issues respectfully: Clear communication leads to timely, amicable solutions.

Whether you choose monthly or quarterly check-ins, consistent feedback sessions make the au pair experience smoother, more rewarding, and more enjoyable for everyone involved.

How to Use the Auost Feedback & Review Template

Our free template guides you through key topics such as daily routines, communication, childcare, household duties, and cultural exchange. It encourages balanced conversations where both parties can share positives and areas for improvement. Using this tool regularly helps keep expectations aligned and strengthens your partnership.

What’s Included in the Template?

Our Word template includes:

• Questions for the host family to reflect on the au pair’s performance

• Prompts for the au pair to share their experience

• A shared section for discussing concerns, praise, and goals

• Space for setting small goals and reviewing previous ones

• A signature line (optional) to formalize the check-in

Use this tool to guide meaningful conversations and not just to get reviews.

How to Use It

• Schedule monthly or bi-monthly review meetings

• Fill in the form separately, then discuss it together

• Keep the tone supportive and honest — not judgmental

• Use it to celebrate progress and address needs

Check-ins = better relationships.
Create space for feedback, and you’ll build a stronger foundation for a great year together.
