[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds like those stories out of India ...

Also, aren't au pairs required to have private rooms???[/quote]

I'm a live-in nanny, not an au pair, so there's no legal requirement.  I'm actually open to sharing a room with a child, provided that there are no cameras in the room, the child is under 3, I'm the only one getting up with the child during the night, and I'm paid for every single hour.  BTDT, it actually makes it easier while working with an infant or toddler, and the boundaries with the parents about working hours and duties are crystal clear.

It's not in India, it's in PA.  4 12 hour days, 1 14 hour day per week, a pull-out sofa in the living room, two shelves in a linen closet for storing clothes.  No privacy, bathroom shared with 4 kids.

Of course I told the family I thought there were nuts.  [b]The kicker?  Each child has their own room.  Instead of doubling up two of the kids, they want the nanny to not have a bedroom...[/b][/quote]

Ridiculous parents! How can they possibly think someone would want that position. Who would even take this?![/quote]
