In what way pp? It provides a (cheap) service for families , much needed - especially in this country.

An for the au pairs, it offers the opportunity to experience living abroad, improving their foreign language skills while making a little bit of $$.

This particular case is rare, the exception. There is a reason why no one thought the au pair was involved at all until she was arrested.

Of course there are a few hiccups here in there, but in general it is a good program.

DP but I could never trust a background check in another country. It’s not flawless here either but at least I understand the process and what to look for.

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.

Well, yeah, you can babysit at home. They come here to chase money and a green card and for the fun.

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).

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.

Oh please - childcare experience my @$$. Caring for siblings, young cousins or just plain lying about their “experience,” most likely.

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.

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.

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.

You were an Au pair from Brazil? I’m interested in your insight on this case if you have any to share. What do you think was her plan to stay in the US after her visa expired?
