[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Au pairs are not a monolith, but in my experience I’ve never heard one complain about too few hours. Many Au pairs complain about working over say 30 hours, though. An Au pair would certainly be able to do the tasks you want, but… are you sure you want to go this route? Au pairs are A LOT of work. Even if you get an independent, self-sufficient, mature Au pair, you will still have to deal with: Having an adult roommate Including Au pair in meals, birthdays, holidays, vacations Providing a car / insurance / cell phone Learning her food preferences, shopping for her, preparing meals for her And that’s best case scenario. You will likely have to deal with: homesickness, romantic breakups, car accidents, drinking, etc etc. It’s a lot of work. [/quote] I’ve never understood these complaints about having an au pair. Do parents not realize that they will deal with all these things for their own kids? Au pairs are human. [/quote]
