[quote=Anonymous]I never wanted an Asian au pair because of various stereotypes (such as doesn’t like to eat dinner with the family because she wants only Asian foods), but we ended up with one during rematch. I’m getting the feeling she’s here because she does like kids but ultimately it was a way to get a visa. My husband said she asked about how hard would it be to apply for a different visa to stay after the end of her year. I’m surprised because she has about 9 months left but good for her for thinking ahead. We’ve invested a lot of money for driving lessons with the hope she’d be interested in an extension and we’re burned out from rematching.

That being said... what makes Asian au pairs happy? We still require her to eat dinner with us, but she eats Asian food the rest of her meals. She doesn’t really go out, but hasn’t made too many friends here yet. She mentioned another Asian au pair from the training academy is in rematch and would like to come to our area, so maybe she’s looking for other Asian friends? She’s not homesick or a partier, and also isn’t really a traveler (sends money home).

Our last two APs were more “typical”. For example, I could give them a Starbucks gift card for a treat. This one doesn’t seem interested in the “American experience” nor seems to need anything.
