[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if you tell your au pair to follow CDC, state, and local guidelines, I guarantee you that you will still be feeling very uncomfortable with what the au pairs are up to if you and your family have been cautious. Au pairs basically will act like COVID doesn't exist but occasionally wear a mask (not always properly).

Bars? Hey, they're open at reduced capacity, so au pairs can go, right?
Restaurants and drinking? Same as above and definitely maskless because they're consuming food/drink. Are the wait staff going say something to their customers if their chairs aren't distanced? Nope. 
Tinder and other apps? Well, that's not the same as a "gathering" so why would this not be ok?
Travel? Also open, so why would you have a problem with it?

Then, the vaccine also makes them COVID-proof, right? Why would you have any restrictions if they're vaccinated. So what that they *might* transmit the virus still... some evidence says vaccinated people likely don't too... therefore this shouldn't impact how au pairs are living their "best life" here...[/quote]

Nothing is risk free in life and we all have to make decisions that work for our families. Last year, we decided to take a break from the program. DH and I are both vaccinated now and we decided to re-join the program again this year. To us, the risk seems manageable. I do understand, however, that our year of isolation is coming to an end. I do hope that our au pair won't go bar hopping as soon as bars are open (are they open already?), but I also understand that she will be meeting people, going out, and taking bigger risks than what we are taking now (even after being vaccinated). That all was part of the equation for us.[/quote]
