[quote=Anonymous][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.

[b]None of my au pairs were from wealthy families, so no princesses.  I even said that during the interviews. [/b][/quote]

Is that the only way to avoid it though?  SO many au pairs are doing the job to meet a guy and stay here, from my friends' experiences. [/quote]
