[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay some of these comments towards the OP are pretty ridiculous.

OP, I'm a part-time nanny/helper for one family that turns into full-time child care during the Summers. This is my fifth Summer. I'm the point of contact for play dates for the two school aged children who love to hang out with their friends. I'm friendly with sah moms as well as the Summer sitters. Communication is key and even with a few 'missteps' that shouldn't be ignored. [b]Also, I personally don't see the issue with asking for help here and there.[/b] Over the years, I've definitely checked with other family parents/nannies about the kids stopping by if I had an appointment or needed to ever leave early from work, and have absolutely reciprocated as well. Depending on how close the kids are, ages, location, stuff like this can be mutually beneficial. [/quote]

That's the difference -- you're a nanny & a helper, you are NOT an au pair.

There are very strict rules for au pairs and it's conditional on them being able to live and work in this country.

Watching other people's children's violates an au pairs J1 visa -- this is non-negotiable.
I imagine that OP doesn't really care if she gets this girl deported or not though...

So, you cannot compare this situation with yours as nanny.
