Travel- Scheduling
If your au pair travels with your family as part of her child care responsibilities; it is strongly recommended that a schedule be discussed in advance. Think about how you will divide child care responsibilities between you and the au pair. Remember that the au pair may need orienting to a new setting and that you are responsible for her lodging and meals while she is traveling with you.
Downsizing your portions. How much you eat is as important as what you eat. The US is known for its “supersizing”, especially in restaurants. It is Ok to ask for a to-go box and take home that food you couldn’t finish at the restaurant.
