[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, she should have her own room or you put the kids in your room and give her the second room in the suite.  She should not share with the kids.  [/quote]

OP here- yep that was the plan- lots of the hotels we were looking at have the 2 room suites, where 1 room has 2 double beds (us + kids) and then a separate place with either a sleeper sofa or an additional queen bed.  Follow-up- if there is one that only has the sleeper sofa, is that ok- or should we only do ones that have a traditional full/double/queen bed in the second room?[/quote]

She must have her own room and proper bed.  [/quote]

That’s not true for vacation. Not a rule anyway. We tell au pairs they can come and what the sleeping arrangements will be. Take it or leave it. (Since it’s truly not a working trip when we invite them, I mean this. No obligation to come.)[/quote]
Yes, but if they work even 1 hour, then it is a working trip and they get their own room.

Even on a working trip, I do think a fully extended sleeper sofa with sheets and pillows counts as a bed.  It just needs to be in its own room with a locking door.  The door matter more than the type of bed.  You can't be passing through her room to get to the bathroom, either, as the rule is that she should have her privacy and separate space.

We go to visit my parents and our au pair is always welcome to join, but it's never a working trip because they don't have another spare room.  She's welcome to join, but the only sleeping option is a fold out sofa in the living room. Her choice if she wants to come.[/quote]
