[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi all,

My au pairs have often babysat for friends of the family, neighbors etc. I've always made sure they know it is outside the rules of the program and made sure they understood we have first priority. It has always been fine.

My current AP announced a family had hired her for babysitting. I don't  know them and was bothered by the announcement so made it clear what my rules are.

It made me wonder how many other families allow this? She says ALL the aupairs do it (of course that isn't true).

So do you allow it?

Thanks! [/quote]

So its ok for YOU to break the rule but you have a problem your AP breaking the rule for a family that you don't know. Seriously...?
Both you and your AP should be kicked out of the program.[/quote]

Not sure that makes sense.. in both cases we are 'breaking the rules'. If you read further you would see I did allow it but want to know the families details first so I can look them up. 
I think some people are reading this as me farming my AP out.. its not that at all. I have no problem saying no to my friends. But if the AP's want to babysit I want it to be with someone I know well.[/quote]
