Introduction
Welcome to Opairly, household coordination for au pair families.
Opairly helps host families and au pairs stay organized and on the same page. Set daily tasks, write down house rules, track hours, and manage leave requests, so everyone knows what's expected.
What Opairly does
- Task management: Create recurring tasks with categories like childcare, household, cooking, and education. Tasks are generated daily based on your schedule.
- Calendar & Scheduling: View the weekly schedule in a clear calendar view, filter by child, and mark free days.
- House rules: Document your household expectations. 9 categories with suggested templates to get started.
- Leave management: Au pairs request time off, families approve or decline. Default 14 days per year.
- Children management: Add children with medical details and link them to tasks.
- Emergency info: GP, hospital, contacts, and emergency procedures always at hand.
- Expenses: Au pair submits grocery and transport receipts, family reimburses via Tikkie.
- Weekly Check-ins: Reflect on the week together with three questions and family notes.
- References: Write and publish reference letters for your au pair; they accept and share them with their next host family.
- Daily planning: Au pair indicates daily whether they'll eat and sleep at home.
- Export: Download weekly schedules and house rules as PDF or Excel for your agency or IND.
- Calendar sync: Sync the schedule with Google Calendar, Apple, or Outlook.
How it works
- Family signs up and creates a household during onboarding
- Family sets up tasks and house rules: configure your daily routine and expectations
- Family invites au pair via a shareable invite link
- Au pair joins the household and sees their daily tasks and rules
- Au pair completes tasks; the hours add up automatically from the weekly schedule
- Family reviews task completion, the hour totals, and leave requests from the dashboard
