[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) It's against State Dept rules to ask au pairs to do any chores not related to children. 2) Helping an au pair adjust to living in an unfamiliar country while learning your family dynamics is one the most challenging aspect of the program. They're young adults without a lot of life experience who're promised the moon by the agency. The reality is once they land and meet other au pairs, they'll soon compare notes and will want to be out if working conditions in your home is not as nice as their friends'. 3) I started using a house cleaning service AFTER being in the au pair program because the majority of the au pairs are not that tidy or know how to clean. In general they create more mess. But we've been lucky in that all of them have been very good with our kids. [/quote] All of this. +1 OP you should separate child care from cleaning/house management. [/quote]
