[quote=Anonymous]A lot of these girls are just flat-out lying about their skills, experience, and expectations. That's what went wrong. She had no experience or skills in childcare, cooking, driving, or anything else she claimed to have-- and it is very difficult to assess that when Skyping with someone in another country. It's not like they're going to be honest with you about whether they've crashed their car or got fired from their last 2 jobs (both true in the case of my au pair, but I found that out by accident after she was already in my house). And she resented being "underpaid", so she applied to a nanny agency on the side! That's what finally got her sent home by the agency-- the agencies don't care if the au pair neglects or harms your kids, but they DO care if she's planning to go AWOL and stop being a cash cow for the agency.[/quote]
