Well, yeah, you can babysit at home. They come here to chase money and a green card and for the fun.
You are so ignorant of the aupair program. These women would NEVER babysit at their home country because that is considered a low class job, in Brazil especially, for the poor and uneducated.
The poor and uneducated don’t even know the au pair program exists.
This woman is very likely college educated (where these programs most advertise) and upper middle class over there and she probably came soon after graduating to experience life abroad and improve her English (which is highly marketable).
What happened next I don’t know, but I can only imagine she was bamboozled by a much older guy, her boss to boot, in a strange country.
Are you familiar with the Au pair program?
First, the most successful Au pair candidates have extensive babysitting experience. For an Au pair to be “infant qualified” they need something like 1000 hours of childcare. Most US families are not interested in hiring a foreigner with zero childcare experience.
Second, very few Au pairs come with a college degree in hand. Some do, yes, but not many. You do know that Au pairs can be between 18 and 26, right? Those are the age cut offs.
Third, the department of state requires Au pairs to complete educational classes while they are here - I think it’s 3 semester hours per 6 months. Most Au pairs complete these classes at local community colleges.
