[quote=Anonymous]I know that many families have tight budgets, and want to 'get their money's worth' but remember that this is a cultural exchange program that incorporates child care. You havent hired a nanny/housekeeper. Only tasks that are related to the kids are appropriate. That being said, preparing healthy snacks in advance is certainly fine (and actually a good idea). You can also ask her to think about/plan a special outing or activity for each week; clean/organize the kids room (though, personally, I want my tweens to learn to do that themselves, so I ask our au piar to supervise the kids doing this). Can also ask them to go through clothes when changing seasons, etc. But not cleaning organizing the house, or any other general household activities beyond what all family members are expected to pitch in[/quote]
