[quote=Anonymous]Au pair Program is terrific but it’s run exploitatively by many unethical agencies and enabled by similarly unthinking parents. It is very easy to reform the program so that au pairs get more, labor exploitation is stomped out, and families are even happier — they know they’re paying fairly, they can’t make au pairs into Cinderellas even if they wanted to, and they get a well educated live-in help with cultural edge and no tax burden and such. But for that, families actually need to want a cultural exchange and an au pair vs. a more easily abused and illegally underpaid nanny/cleaner. Lots of moms here seem to really have no interest in the former. More au pairs for the rest of us who believe in the intent of this program.[/quote]
