[quote=Anonymous]OP, technically you pay for 45 hours a week of childcare. There are plenty of host families that use all 45 hours. Some of those families use them because they need full-day coverage (so 9 hour days 5 days a week), others try to use all of it simply because they paid for it. Here's the thing - you're entitled to do whatever you want and I think as long as you're completely clear on the schedule, you can go ahead and have her working 45 random hours a week even through Thanksgiving. And I agree that it's really irritating when au pairs complain that they have to work the full 45 hours when that is the condition under which they matched anyway. But what is the point really of making her work just because you want to use all 45 hours? If you really don't need her on a day, why would you not bank the goodwill and just let her have some extra time off? [/quote]
