[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have just started interviewing au pairs (over email), and one seems nice, but I feel like setting up way too many boundaries at this very early stage. For instance, she replied to an email and within it stated that she is happy to help out extra, as long as we don't go over hours and that we give her notice. I never asked her to help out extra--we aren't even there yet! We are a rule following family so I am just put off by this. Any thoughts?[/quote] It sounds to me like she’s heard from other APs about their experience. If she understands that there are rules that shouldn’t be broken (45 hours) and is clear that she is responsible for helping as part of the family, what is wrong with that?[/quote] Because we clearly stayed in our profile that we adhere to the rules. It’s a fair thing to be concerned about as an AP but seems a bit presumptuous to state it before I even invited her for an interview [/quote]
