[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have a separate bedroom for the au pair?  That’s a limiting factor for a lot of people. [/quote]

Not exactly. We have a basement space that's nicely fixed up but probably wouldn't count as a real room. There is access from the upstairs and a door to the back patio. [/quote]

When your LCC (or whatever the local agency person is called in other agencies) checks your home, you have to show a legal bedroom.  That means two exits, one of which has to be a lockable door, but the other can be a window or door.[/quote]

Really? So if the Au Pair gets an entire basement, finished, but the egress is upstairs that won't pass muster? Seems odd because legally a member of the household is allowed to live in the basement even if there isn't egress.[/quote]

With only one stairwell into the basement, no windows?  No, because a fire can block one exit.[/quote]

Luckily, for an au pair there Are a few laws to protect them, whereas, obviously, you don't care if a family member cannot get out of house if there is a fire.[/quote]
