[quote=Anonymous]I disagree about the "wouldn't you want this for your daughter" arguement, as au pairs are adults. Yeah, I'd want this for any loved one who is going to live with a new family, but knock it off with the infantilization of grown women. In any case, I think it makes sense. OP, employers don't typically have to undergo background checks, but: 1) au pairs are going to LIVE WITH the families. I wouldn't balk at a nanny agency making the same requirements for families hiring live-in nannies 2) au pairs are also paying into the agencies to perform a matching and oversight service. 3) the au pair program is a government program designed, in part, to share positive aspects of our culture with the rest of the world. Sending a guest to our country into the home of a criminal is kind of counter to that whole plan. [/quote]
