[quote=Anonymous]Wen paid $1,500 to a recruiter in Thailand to participate in the U.S. au pair program. Wen was placed with a host family who also employed another au pair. Wen worked 16 hour days, for a total of 65 to 70 hours per week. In addition to caring for the host family’s two children, Wen was responsible for cleaning the entire house, doing the entire family’s laundry, grocery shopping, and cooking meals for the entire family and their houseguests. During the family’s vacation, Wen was responsible for taking care of the children 24 hours per day. During her time off, Wen was often asked to return to the house to “help” the family clean or care for the kids. The host family prohibited Wen from eating any of the host family’s food, expecting her to use her stipend to purchase her own food. Wen was also prohibited from using the host family’s washing machine for her own clothes. The host family monitored Wen phone calls and checked her voicemails. The other au pair received the same treatment.[/quote]
