[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is exactly why I never wanted an Au Pair.[/quote]
We just had a horrible first time au pair experience and fired her and dropped the agency. I was angry at losing the Hoge placement fee to the agancy (bc they completely misrepresented the au pair - she didn’t have the skills they said she had and she had mental health issues that the agency knew about), but I keep thinking maybe we dodged a bullet?[/quote]

You just bad luck.  We have only had positive experiences with our au pairs.[/quote]

We also had a terrible experience.  We used one of the more expensive agencies that specializes in au pairs that are slightly older with some work experience.   But she had criiplojng anxiety and could barely leave the house.  From talking to lots of friends and neighbors with au pairs, it seems like about 25% are super great, 50% are okay/fine/some issues, and 25% are just terrible or have significant issues.  [/quote]

I would never hire someone from a foreign country to live in my home and care for my child. Au pair companies don't vet these girls. The girls come here for "cultural exchange" and I know of two divorces due to the husband f*ing the au pair in my small North Arlington neighborhood over the past 10 years. [/quote]

We have hosted for a number of years, with no issues. We are friendly with all our former au pairs. Do not generalize. [/quote]
