[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8 and 10 years old can make their own bed and laundry doesn’t need to be done daily. The “really fun barbecue” was still work for her which she should’ve been paid double for. It doesn’t sound like a good match for her or you and I’m leaning more towards siding with Aupair [/quote]

Prospective host dad here, getting very frustrated with the pool of applicants. That said, I agree--your kids need to learn to clean up after themselves. We would ask our au pair to supervise our kids cleaning up after themselves, but that the au pair shouldn't be doing this herself. The point is for our kids to learn to be responsible.[/quote]

Doesn't matter, that's the job that OP has assigned and presumably this was agreed to before the match.  If AP doesn't like it, she can go.  Does laundry daily seem like a lot of water usage? Sure, but AP doesn't get to decide that, OP does and that's what she wants out of an au pair.  The AP sounds like she is from a well off family and now is getting a harsh dose of American life.
