[quote=Anonymous]You’re getting a 18-26 year old young adult in your home from another country. Some will be appreciative of the perks and low hours in comparison to their friends who work a full 45 hours. Others may still be entitled and feel like they deserve more compensation, so they may abuse a credit card by racking up personal charges in addition to permitted purchases (if provided) or order expensive dinners when you take them out (like surf and turf while everyone else is getting burgers). You also have to watch for how much they take the job seriously vs being on their phone the entire time and ignoring your kid. It’s really down to your screening and judgment to pick the right person for your family rather than hosting a disaster that turns into a nightmare. Do your research into the benefits and pitfalls before you leap. [/quote]
