No. That you think she should while bereaved figure out by herself that you are offering her a deal below any market value for au pairs in the US today. And that you are ambivalent about what au pairs are are are not expected to do. If I trick a teenager into working duties they are no meant to for a wage well below ever other teenager in that position, is that not exploitative of me? You seem to be suggesting no, since she wants to and could google and find out that she probably shouldn’t. Read DC consumer protection act or Karl Racine tweets; may not apply here but will be very instructive as a compass since I can’t imagine you are more ethical in your other business dealings

[/quote]What are you talking about?  I'm not the OP.  We never ask our au pairs to do anything outside the approved duties, we pay above market and we work hard to make sure our au pairs have a fabulous experience.  They each have called their au pair year the best year of their life and have generally opted to stay for a second year with our family.

A million posts ago I responded to a point that its abusive to have au pairs during the pandemic at all.  I merely disagreed.  The pandemic is terrible everywhere.  Let the au pairs decide whether they still want to be an au pair.  Many, many went home at the beginning of the pandemic.  Some stayed.  And some still want to come anyways.[/quote]
