[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This is literally NEVER true. Definitionally, the program does not pull from impoverished countries. Middle income at absolute poorest. My au pairs have come from Western Europe. At least one came from a family richer than us (owned a vineyard). [/quote] Many APs are from Columbia, Thailand, China, SA...even young women from western Europe are not from wealthy families, otherwise why would they allow their children to do this....c'mon this was addressed very early in the thread...your child may take a gap year, but not to become a domestic servant in Europe...[/quote] And these are not “impoverished countries.” As I said, middle income at absolute poorest. I can’t even imagine a worldly person claiming with a straight face that South African au pairs are being plucked out of poverty. And yes my children may well become au pairs in Europe as a gap year. Many of my friends in college had been au pairs. [/quote]
