[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s fine if it is your friends and not someone she met at the park? I understand the rules, but you either follow them or you don’t. I know one of the local APs in my neighborhood  babysits for other families that she meets in town. [/quote]

First of all its a safety issue.. I know she is safe with my friends. I don't know that with people a friend of a friend of hers recommended. I did tell her it was fine but told her I need the families contact info and details so I can check them out. I also made sure they are paying her enough and not taking advantage of her.

She had made it sound like a regular commitment which I am not ok with. If she is working a few nights here and there we can manage fine. If she is always booked up it will affect our ability to do anything outside of work and that negates part of the reason we got an au pair.

We only really need our AP for school pickups and occasional night outs. She isn't normally scheduled to work in the evenings and if something comes up we ask her to work. She is averaging around 15 hours a week right now so it really isn't a tough gig.

It doesn't matter if her workload is as light as a feather. It does not matter her schedule with you is 5 minutes or 5 hours. You are breaking the program rule. I know your AP is doing much more than school pick ups and occasional date nights.  [/quote]

You really don't know. Her schedule in the school year is exactly that. She hasn't worked a weekend day yet. I prefer to spend all the time I can with my family. [/quote]
