[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also agree with PP that working 3/4 Saturdays per month IS a recipe for bitterness, not necessarily working 45 hours. Daytime hours would be better, with the occasional Saturday evening. She'll want to go out too. [/quote] 11:53 here and just want to be clear - I don't think either of us are saying that you shouldn't ever have an au pair working on a Saturday night. But I would do once a month tops. All three of my au pairs basically partied from Friday night to Sunday evening straight. We rarely ask them to work weekends and I think they really really appreciated it (well, except for our second who didn't appreciate anything lol). It is asking a lot for a young adult to give up their Saturday night. Recognizing that as a host parent will go a long way in having a happy au pair.[/quote]
