Where is the au pair supposed to live?  Obviously, you have no idea of what au pair means.[/quote]
Again, in Europe it’s not uncommon for au pairs to live independently in a house or apartment of their own.  This gives everyone a little breathing space and privacy at the end of the day.  But of course, the host family pays for that.  [/quote]

In Europe the au pair legal, wage and visa issues are completely different than US.

Having live in Europe, with young kids, those are for "au pairs" that are INTERNAL to the EU, and thus [b]NOT in need of a any work visa[/b]. if you are from Bulgaria or Poland you already do not need any kind of visa to simply work in France or Denmark be it as a waiter, or 200k a year executive.
The only implication or regulation for Au Pairs in EU is identical to hiring a living 50 year old nanny: you are allowed to pay either "au pair" or live-in nanny, under minimum wage with a specific room and board scheduled value bring it up to minimum wage.

In the US the au pair is a visa designation. So that is very different right off the bat. An au pair in the US cannot do any other work and in fact are specifically forbidden from doing any childcare/nanny work or even any baby sitting whatsoever for anyone else.

Why? because if they did that drives down wages of actual nannies and baby sitters. If the au pair is not living with you, then you can't be certain they are not also waitressing or babysitting other kids which is illegal - and you --  as visa sponsor you can be steeply fined.[/quote]
