[quote=Anonymous]Hi all,

We welcomed our first au pair in January. I have two young boys, one with some special needs. I have been up front about special needs and expressed in my profile and during interviews my desire to have an au pair attend occupational therapy appointments with my child in order to relay information (including homework exercises). I have had au pair ride with me or with grandparents since January to take my child to a weekly occupational therapy appointment. I have asked her to go into session with me, and have been clear in verbal and written (handbook) communication that this is work time and she is to stay, observe, and share back information. After working since January to get her driving skills up to par, she drove my child to therapy solo for the first time today. I then get a text that she left him at his appointment and took my family Costco card that was sitting out and decided to go shopping. She didn't ask, mind.  This is her 12th week and every single week she has been to OT appointments and I know she understands the request from me - she made a point previously to take photos of session and share them. I am not sure what to think. We had a chat about it this evening, and she had clearly been crying (Costco confiscated the card since her photo was not on it and she had to leave all her items at the store). How would you handle this? I don't mind if she uses my Costco card (happy to get her her own) but not on work time and not when her job is to stay with my kid! [/quote]
