For a long-standing au pair I could maybe make a case for the suite, but for someone who’s just joined your family, give her a completely separate room. Everyone will appreciate it, and it will help get things off on the right foot.

I would if I were getting a free trip to a place I wanted to go. Even today but especially when I was 20.

In fact when I first started working, employers sometimes made business travelers share hotel rooms with two double beds, sharing not just a bathroom but a sleeping space. Anyone else remember that?

Sure but it’s not the same as a childcare provider having to sleep with her “work”. That is seen as working her around the clock and illegal. Those you stated otherwise are wrong. Call your au pair agency and ask if you don’t believe me.
