[quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher, single mom, and i needed an au pair. I needed the 45 hours per week. I found a wonderful first au pair from South America who was also a (young) teacher and wanted to better her English in order to work in an international school for better pay. The next 3 au pairs were in similar situations. Numbers 2 and 4 were good friends with number 1 back home. Number 3 was from Europe and a pediatric nurse who wanted to work in an international hospital and needed fluent English. All my au pairs were 21+. Look for young professionals, not teenagers. If you have a good au pair, ask if their friends/colleagues back home would be a good fit for your family. Have them visit while your au pair is still with you so they can see the situation and you can assess your chemistry. None of my au pairs were from wealthy families, so no princesses. I even said that during the interviews. [/quote]
