[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask the llc if you can rematch. That host family is violent. Nobody has the right to abuse you. Not even the charges. If the do not listen then go back to your home country.
There are plenty of other ways to have a fulfilling gap year.[/quote]

Wait... my (own) 4 year old hit me the other day.  I never realized he was "violent," but now I do.  Thanks PP.  Since nobody has the right to abuse me... do you recommend a restraining order?

your own 4 year old is very different from someone elses 6 year old, when the parents do nothing about it.
I would tell the parents that you are not going to tolerate it and ask them to make sure it does not happen again. An au pair does not have tostay[/quote]

No, an au pair does not have to stay.  But someone who is going to call "abuse/violence" the first time a child hits/kicks her has no business in a child care role.  Granted, OP says this has happened several times.  But I think the real issue is -- what is the family's response?  OP sounds much more realistic than you.  I thought your response was ridiculous.[/quote]
