[quote=Anonymous]As an experienced host family, I would encourage you to try to select an au pair who already is comfortable with their English, if you are looking for someone who speaks a particular language. I’ve chatted with a number of rematch/extension au pairs over the years, and a (one of the many) chief reason they are seeking to move on from their first family is that they did not have the opportunity to practice English frequently with the kids/host family. This is particularly common with au pairs who are speaking a language that is less available in the nanny pool—because so many families with the same cultural/linguistic background select them intentionally to work on the language with their children, and then they don’t have the opportunity to enhance their English.
