[quote=Anonymous]We have had 5 Au Pairs (one extended for an extra year):  2 from Thailand, 2 from France, 1 from Spain.  All were great Au Pairs but the Thai Au Pairs were a bit warmer/more playful with the kids and were MUCH better at doing household duties like wiping up the kitchen after dinner, etc.  We were hoping for a Thai Au Pair again this time but given the issues with visas, our agency (APC) is no longer listing Thai Au Pairs.  What other countries would people recommend we look at?  We need a driver (but just for local driving like picking up kids from practices), strong enough English to help with homework, and prefer over 21.

Which countries have you had experience with that are more willing to help around the house and "cherish" children?  No, I am not looking for a housekeeper (we have cleaners that come once per week) but my husband and I are both tired of things not being picked up like they were with our Thai Au Pairs (one of the French ones was much better that the current one who will happily do dishes after dinner or whatever but has to be asked and does what I would consider a sub-par job that my 12 year old would do better...)  So I know some of it is individual but I do think some is cultural....

Thanks![/quote]
