[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be weary too. If she has a close relationship with her parents - and they don't agree. She could get convinced to come home early. Our first au pair left after 3 months because she was homesick, and her parents told her just to come home. We literally got 2 days notice - because they booked her on the next available flight - which I'm guessing was not cheap!

Our current au pair's family supports her being an au pair - even though they completely miss her. but when she has ever felt down - like when her grandmother died - they encourage her to stick it out, and keep her commitment to our family. which i'm totally grateful for because it could have gone the opposite direction.

the thing we're struggling with now in matching with our next au pair - is the question of boyfriends. Anyone have any thoughts on that? I'm inclined not to match with a girl who has a boyfriend - because being an au pair is complicated enough with the added pressure of a boyfriend back home. [/quote]

Why not support her in going to the funeral?[/quote]
