[quote=Anonymous]Since a baby who is not talking yet can't actually converse with the au pair, I think many au pairs - even those whose primary goal in coming here is to improve their English through daily conversation - would be fine speaking to the baby in their native language, as long as the parents spent conversational time with the au pair in English. And the au pair can still seek out many English-speaking opportunities during his/her day caring for the baby - e.g. at the library story times or park speaking with other parents, caregivers etc. in English, and then after work with friends and other au pairs who do not speak his/her language. But like the previous poster said, you can make these expectations and desires clear in the interviewing process.[/quote]
