About this app

Aupairent is a Cape Town-based family brand hoping to assist families like ours by streamlining schedules and communication; freeing you up to focus on the important things in life. This app provides users with a platform for child-focused communication and schedule
management among the family members. This is becoming increasingly important today as families are becoming more and more reliant on Au pairs or families members to assist in fetching and carrying their children. Not only does the app manage each members calendar, so all parties are aware of what activity is on and who is looking after the child, it also offers an emergency notification service should any family member find themselves in an accident or unfortunate situation.

In addition the app provides a platform for au pairs to easily manage the many responsibilities related to their job. All the Au Pair management features are used to auto generate the Au Pair's financials - (job card) the money owed for hours worked, expenses logged and mileage tracked. This appears in the parent (family managers) home screen. The parent then as the option to "settle up" which clears the job card and notifies the Au Pair that they have been paid
