[quote=Anonymous]OP, we had multiple au pairs and travelled with all of them on a variety of trips (seeing relatives in other parts of the country but also Hawaii, Italy, San Francisco, Key West and the beach.  I think your plan is fine as long as she does not have to share a room.  As others have said, I think it is great to give her the option of doing things on her own but make clear that she doesn't have to do it.  We had one au pair on an overseas trip who took advantage of the opportunity to day trip to see a different city.   I think travelling together is a great way to really get to know each other outside of the daily work routines.  In my experience, the au pairs would not be asked to work, but would chip in the same way any family member would do.  So no leaving the kids with her for hours but not a big deal if she offers to watch the kids while you go to the bathroom in the restaurant or plays a game with the kids.  We loved or liked a lot all of our au pairs and stayed in touch for years after.  [/quote]
