[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not invite that trouble into my home. Maybe it's unfair to the really good-looking candidates, but that's just the way it is!  [/quote]

It's not unfair. If Brazilians want to work in the US, they have to learn that we are WAY more uptight about dress and bodies than they are, and they have to match our expectations. [/quote]

Dumb.  It's an au pair program, not an SES position at a federal agency.

We had au pairs from several different countries when our kids were younger.   They all worked out fine, and most were far more mature than Americans of a similar age, although I'd say the au pairs we had from France were the least dependable.  [/quote]

Not dumb. OP didn't hire her because her dress made OP uncomfortable. It would make a lot of parents uncomfortable. You dress for the job or you don't get the job.

An au pair doesn't need to dress in a suit, but she should be reasonably covered while at work or in her application video. [/quote]

You're missing the point.  The OP sounds too insecure to hire an au pair.  She should hire an older nanny.  An au pair candidate can wear a burqa in her video but the family will still probably be heading off to the beach with the girl eventually.  OP couldn't handle it. [/quote]
