[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ours is different in that our au pair watches our 2 young kids during the work day.

Kids Laundry 1x week
Make kids lunches daily 
take kids to events/activities during the day
drive to preschool/school and pick up from it. 
organize/pick events to do (library, park, splash park, pool, farm, etc). 
Help the kids clean up their play room/ bedroom.

After family dinner together and we all clean up- so we ask our au pair to do that with us, but it's pretty quick with 3 adults involved. [/quote]

Are you impinging on her "off the clock" time to clean your kitchen?[/quote]

Au pairs are supposed to be "part of the family"  In my family (no au pair though...:D)  everyone clears the dishes from the table (Usually their own dish and cup plus maybe one serving dish),  one person wipes the table, another person may wipe the kitchen counters and the third person may load the extra dishes into the dishwashwer. Takes very little time and is ok per the cultural care guidelines _ falls under "all things that everyone does in the house" :

She should only be "helping" (helping is the key word)if you have meals while she is in the clock.  [/quote]
