[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our last au pair overdosed our kids with chocolate melatonin  (in a childproof container)...of course it was an accident. She thought it was just candy in a childproof container...it went even more downhill from there.

If I don't spell out the expectations and leave nothing to chance, I'm going to get the minimum.  I would take a morning off or schedule the au pair for a family meeting ASAP if this were me (the me now who has learned her lesson about letting things slide).[/quote]

The language barrier is so tough. We had to draw pictures for our aupair at one point because of things like this. It wasn't worth the risk to deal with it again so when our first aupair left, we left the program. You don't realize how much risk you are taking with a caregiver that can't tell the difference between chocolate and chocolate melatonin and the LCCs act like it's no big deal. It IS a big deal. They need to stay awake during work hours and feed children appropriate food.[/quote]
