| Are Au Pairs allowed to work extra hours for other families? If not, when you see an AP and/or host family advertising on social media that their AP is available for extra work and babysitting hours, do you say anything? |

| They are not. It’s a violation of their visa and the program. I’d probably mention it to anyone who was considering hiring them. |

| If you know the host family, I would say something to them. They shouldn’t knowingly jeopardize her status. |

| Not abiding by J1 visa regulations. This is a shame |

| I warn them that they could all get into trouble, then I contact the LCC to reinforce the warning. If they choose not to heed it, that's their business. |
