[quote=Anonymous]Th au pair thing is also tricky with housework. They aren't officially supposed to be given "work" that isn't childcare. At the same time, they are supposed to be like additional "children" who contribute to the household. What this usually means in practice is that you could ask for limited help with chores, or you might luck out with someone who grew up doing a lot of contributing in terms of cooking or cleaning, and keeps doing that at your house, but you're kind of stuck with what the au pair is willing to do, rather than being able to "hire" her to do those things. You'll be rejected from the program if you say you're looking for housekeeping help in addition to child care.[/quote]
