Hints for a Successful Year

Driving- Access to a car in your free time is a privilege. When was the last time the car
you drive had an oil change or maintenance visit?

Education- Have you given your counselor your proof of education yet? All proof of
education must state your name, ID number, school attended, course title, and number
of credits/hours earned. If your community counselor does not have proof that your
education requirement has been completed, your completion bonus, if you are eligible to
receive one, will be withheld and you forfeit the opportunity to extend.

The following documents are acceptable proof of your education completed
~Letter from the school on letterhead
~Completion certificate from the school
~School transcript

Hints for success- Respect the privacy of others. Gossiping about other au pairs and
host families can be very harmful. Do not tell others about what goes on in other host
families.
