[quote=Anonymous]It will depend on the Au pair’s personality and her / your expectations. If you don’t want to invite her to events like those above, you just need to screen for applicants who are independent. Be upfront about it. These are young women and many do expect to be invited to everything, and will feel hurt / resentment if you don’t. So just be clear in your interviews. That said, you’ll absolutely need to include them for thanksgiving or Xmas, and they’ll expect to be included in family dinners, family birthdays, etc. Including them in family vacations is up to you. That said, most will expect you to invite them, especially if you go somewhere good. If you don’t take them, you can expect a moody teenager brooding around your home for a bit. [/quote]
