[quote=Anonymous]As a single mom (by choice) of 1 and a HS teacher, my au pair worked the full 45 hours a week she was allowed (7am-4pm.) I gave her a calendar for the year of my days off so she knew ahead of time which days she would not work and could make plans. No car, but unlimited metro pass (20 minutes from home) and bus pass (2 minutes from home.) We are within walking distance (15 minutes)of a large mall. I encouraged her to go out with my toddler every day and explore. She did. I speak her native language moderately, so she never felt alone or far from home. She was active her church. (I'm not religious but she was.) My daughter and I had a wonderful experience with our au pair. I am sorry you all sound so miserable with yours.[/quote]
