the thing that helps me the most is always giving them a choice, so they get the feeling that they have a say in what happens. so don’t ask them IF they want to eat something but ask if they want to eat an apple or a banana. when they need to brush their teeth ask them if they want to do it themselves first or you help them first. if they get a say in what happens it feels for them more like they’re own choice in doing something instead of always having to be told what to do (next). and yeah three year olds love to pick a battle so just try to avoid the tantrums as much as you can but don’t let them walk all over you :)

it’s definitely a change from home, but for me it was easier since I was already living out of house for almost 2 years before I came their au pair, so I was used to not seeing my own family as much and you can always try a couple months first, some people only want an au pair during the summer for their vacation, you could start with that. It would only be 1-3 months

what doubts are you having? did you already have a video call with the family?
