[quote=Anonymous]We've had au pairs for years and have had mostly good experiences. One au pair had anxiety issues and we let her go early. Another two just had annoying personalities, but did their job and were responsible. We've also had a bunch of amazing experiences with au pairs who we now consider to be part of our family. Amazing young people who love our kids and we love them. With an au pair, you can't consider that the agency has done any screening at all. You are the one interviewing an employee and housemate from a pretty random database of young people. You need to find a responsible person who you like. Then you need to build a trusting relationship and train them on the job. It's work, but so is finding and training a college student or nanny. [/quote]
