[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the Au pairs. We live in MoCo, and not having a car puts the Au pair at a huge disadvantage. In my Au pairs friend group, there is only one girl who does not have her own or a shared car, and they seem to constantly try to manage making sure someone picks her up or can drop her off, etc. If I was an Au pair, it’s not something that I’d want to ‘bend’ on.[/quote]

I’m not sure that I agree with this.  We are also in MoCo and do have a car for our au pair to use (with some rules attached).  In the past 5 years, we have often see other au pairs in Bethesda/CC/Silver Spring area not have access to a car or not have access at all times (including weekends).  We have been concerned at times that some of our au pairs were basically being “used” by their “friends” for rides.  I would not say that having their own car in the local area is a given or should be an expectation, particularly with the easy access of a wide variety of public transportation options and the very high cost of insurance.[/quote]
