[quote=Anonymous]We were always met with pushback about evening hours and definitely weekend hours scheduled for our au pair. Mediocre is a nice way of putting her childcare skills. I don't think most au pairs come with childcare in mind or actual childcare experience. Did you know they count hours individually even if it's a class setting? If they *teach* 20 kids at a center, then it would count as 160 hours in an 8 hour day. Suddenly those applicants with 10,000 hours of childcare experience don't seem so experienced. They buy their international licenses. They have their health screenings done by the recruiter's doctor in many countries. They are told to accept the first match offer because it's harder to get a visa than a rematch. Sit down and talk with your aupair sometime about their process of being recruited and becoming an aupair. It will be eye-opening. [/quote]
