[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]lYes she was manipulative herself because she wanted an older American man with money. That was probably her motive upon applying as an au pair in her country.[/quote] Well, yeah, you can babysit at home. They come here to chase money and a green card and for the fun. [/quote] You are so ignorant of the aupair program. These women would NEVER babysit at their home country because that is considered a low class job, in Brazil especially, for the poor and uneducated. The poor and uneducated don’t even know the au pair program exists. This woman is very likely college educated (where these programs most advertise) and upper middle class over there and she probably came soon after graduating to experience life abroad and improve her English (which is highly marketable). What happened next I don’t know, but I can only imagine she was bamboozled by a much older guy, her boss to boot, in a strange country. [/quote] Are you familiar with the Au pair program? First, the most successful Au pair candidates have extensive babysitting experience. For an Au pair to be “infant qualified” they need something like 1000 hours of childcare. Most US families are not interested in hiring a foreigner with zero childcare experience. Second, very few Au pairs come with a college degree in hand. Some do, yes, but not many. You do know that Au pairs can be between 18 and 26, right? Those are the age cut offs. Third, the department of state requires Au pairs to complete educational classes while they are here - I think it’s 3 semester hours per 6 months. Most Au pairs complete these classes at local community colleges. [/quote] [b]Oh please - childcare experience my @$$. Caring for siblings, young cousins or just plain [u]lying[/u] about their “experience,” most likely. [/b] Most Americans who hire aupairs do so because they need the flexibility they offer and because they are dirty cheap when compared to a living in nanny, even an illegal immigrant nanny. And I do have experience with the au pair program because I was one myself, from the same country as this one btw. [b]People from her class just DON’T babysit or nanny or do these kind work f jobs, at all. Most likely she had nannies and maids her whole life. [/b] I cannot say anything about au pairs from East Europe, but I certain this woman has never done one hour of paid childcare e labor in her life before coming here. [/quote] Ok former brazilian au pair, So why was she 'lying' about being a nanny in brazil and going through all the hoops just to be a 'dirty cheap' au pair in the US if she was so high 'class' in her country with a nursing degree? I know that even though she was a nurse she could never make as much there as she can in the US. So even if she was raised with her rich parents she probably wanted the freedom, money, and indepedence that living in the US would give her. I know rich parents in South America, at least the old school ones, can be very trite in how their daughters are raised and how classy they behave. I know they would never allow a daughter to just go live with a foreign man and his wife in another country. They'd want the daughter to marry a similarly upper class guy in brazil but then why WHY do you see so many au pairs on the immigration forum on reddit who want to marry their US spouse in a few months time before their visa expires? hm? explain.[/quote]
