The purpose of this forum is to allow families that host Au Pairs or are considering hosting an Au Pair to exchange information. There are obviously some individuals that do not like the current Au Pair program that exists in the US. While that is a legitimate viewpoint and one worthy of discussion, it is not useful in this forum. Please have discussions of that sort in the "Off-Topic" forum within the Nanny Forums section:

In addition, please keep discussion in this forum respectful.
Posts that do not fit within the guidelines outlined above should be reported using the "report" button contained within each message.
Posts that are off-topic or disrespectful will be removed. Posters who repeatedly violate the guidelines will suffer additional repercussions as appropriate.
