I will say that my next door neighbor has adult children living in her house and they are all social distancing. It’s not such a crazy thing to require of an au pair. But in case it wasn’t clear — we are done with the program afterwards. It is too uncomfortable to be living with someone who is unhappy. I feel for the au pair. I asked her if she wanted to return or rematch and told her to take it seriously. She said no. I sort of want this to be over even though work and parenting will be a slog for me and my husband.


This +1000. It will be hard, but these are not ideal times to host.


It is different to be quarantining / social distancing with YOUR OWN FAMILY. At the end of the day there is some employee employer relationship w your au pair - you are paying her and she does a job! Would you want to be trapped with your employer 24/7?

No! And nor do I want to be trapped with my unhappy employee! It is a shitty situation. Which I why I am glad this is almost over and we won’t host again. At least not for a year at least.
