[quote=Anonymous]If you take on an Au pair and part of her duties are driving, you need to screen really really hard for someone with driving experience. Ours caused thousands of dollars of damage to our car, despite her claiming she had solid driving experience. Yes a competent Au pair could do the tasks you want. But it sounds like you are underestimating the emotional load that an Au pair can bring. I did it one time, I’d quit by job before I hire another one. And she wasn’t terrible! I just underestimated how much work it would be to manage a clingy 21 year old foreigner in my home for a year. [/quote]
