[quote=Anonymous]We schedule our au pair's day. For example, we tell her that her hours are 7-8am and 1-6pm. This way, we are both clear about how many hours she is actually working and whether she is able to complete her assigned tasks in the amount of time allotted. Previously, we had issues with au pairs managing their time. They were not getting everything done or they were claiming they were needing to work too many hours to get the chores done. So, we felt we needed to define the hours and the tasks. This way, we know exactly how much time she is working and assign specific tasks that need to be done in that time. I wish we didn't need to do this, but unfortunately, it did not work out when we were more flexible. [/quote]
