[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think people who have au pairs are necessarily cheap. I do think that they using their privilege to exploit young women from other countries under the facade of a ‘cultural exchange.’[/quote] If you do it through a reputable agency and treat the au pairs well (and pay them correctly), it's not exploitative.[/quote] OP it's first and foremost a cultural exchange program with a young adult, and the scope of work with your children would be fewer hours per week, and different. The true financial costs go well beyond the program costs. [/quote]
