[quote=Anonymous]As an AP from a country with a much stronger currency than the US dollar I find this post hilarious. Not only do I earn less here, but when I go home I lose a massive chunk of whatever money I may have on my bank account, thank you.

The Au Pair program exist because no American Nanny would ever accept to be paid the rate Au Pairs are paid but then most APs would never have the opportunity to live and experience the US otherwise.

I can guarantee you that if the US offered a working holiday visa like countries like Australia and NZ do, there would be much less APs around.

APs come for the romanticized idea of what they US is like based on movies and TV shows they've grown up with, yes for some APs in poorer countries it does mean a chance at bringing quite a lot of money home and have a better start at life there, for a lot of them though, it's mostly a cultural experience that will in any way make them richer financially.

Most European Au Pairs would be better off living at home and having a local job financially so your argument don't really stand. [/quote]
