Team parent On-boarding Checklist
Welcoming your newest member of “Team Parent” (aka. Caregiver, Au Pair, Babysitter) is the most critical part of the relationship. First impressions can make or break a long lasting relationship.
We ‘onboard’ new employees in big corporations all the time. It is a proven technique to make more happy, integrated employees. I came up with a checklist to help with the on-boarding of a new family member.
The situation of a host family with a new caregiver or au pair are quite obvious in comparison to a new employee. The caregiver / au pair arrives at his/her new host family excited for a new opportunity to take on a new role. At the beginning of the relationship she (or he) is not aware or informed and usually very uncertain about what that role really entails and what is the structure of the family and how do they handle day to day problems.

What is a Family Pit Crew?
“If a NASCAR Driver can have a pit crew to support them, then so can I as parent. I am committed to keeping sanity as part of team parent.” – Mary MichaelÂ
A member of the family pit crew is:Â
An extraordinary team member that joins your family team to support your family culture and provides a role model to the next generation (aka ‘your kids’). Instead of using the word ‘caregiver’ this special team member becomes part of ‘team parent’ and participates like part of the family and gets to support the culture and also the enforcement of rules set forth by team parent.
We have made a tool kit to help make this simple. We are here to support you in navigating the steps needed to set up your family pit crew.

Editable On-Boarding Checklist
Time is valuable and each year as busy parents onboard a new member to the family, there is so much knowledge that you have to transfer and so much information from safety to the culture of your family. Don’t miss the opportunity at the beginning to start on the best foot forward. This checklist has been modified and refined multiple times by host parents and parents on-boarding nannies. It includes an action packed agenda for the first two weeks to check on that progress.
