[quote=Anonymous]MA law for now applies in MA, but there are movements to make into law in DMV and elsewhere. I think this will succeed in DC before too long; it’s had a set back in VA and Montgomery County because parents like the OP lobbied against it. I’m confident we’ll see this law adopted elsewhere and meanwhile there are many pending law suits for back wages, and a recent class action win. I see this as a win win: au pairs get treated better and perhaps fewer families participate, but they are the right type of family: not exploitative, invested in the cultural exchange. A few of the agencies might go bust, but they appear to be semi-criminal exploitation enterprises in the first place. No one will cry for OP and families like hers in the revamped au pair program.[/quote]
