[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most of the replies here are from host families who think taking the host families side is the patriotic thing to do.
If this was a post from an American au pair complaining about working conditions in Spain or Mexico, the replies would have been very different

But I agree the au pair should rematch. There are better things to do when you are young than spend a year in a Philly suburb trapped in someones house[/quote]

Indeed.  Such as having your visa revoked and going back to your country of origin when you can't find a family who will rematch with you if you persist in certain attitudes.  It's not about being "patriotic."  It's about the complaints themselves.[/quote]I do not understand

Europeans are under the Shengen visa rules and can visit any time without a visa for 90 days. In the au pair program the permit to work depends on being employed by HF, but you do have time to be 'legally' waiting for employment without a host family and still be in the country. Rematch is not unusual at all. Some times the issue is with the host family or working conditions. An au pair does not have to agree to everything. She can descide to leave
