[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get au pairs. Most of my friends have them. I get that cost wise it's much better. I totally get the advantage of cultural exchange. These are people who could easily afford to hire an experienced, professional adult to care for their kids.

But selecting a person whom you've never met in person, who is by definition young, by definition doesn't have a ton of experience with children (I know some have more than others) and by definition going through a major life change/transition being in a new country to care for your kids?!

And most people seem to have some sort of rematch...[/quote]

Not to mention the husband stories. [/quote]

What are the husband stories? I mean come on you really think most au pairs want anything to do with some middle aged dudes[/quote]

Well, the husbands seem to have all the criteria- job? Check. House? Check? Decent amount of money? Check. Yeah, I’ve seen nannies and au pairs move in on that. [/quote]
