[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I travel frequently for work and have thus far always brought infant now toddler.  I screen for au pairs who like to travel and put it in our handbook. I have taken au pairs to Europe, Asia, and random boring to gritty US cities. If AP doesn’t want to for all or part of the trip, she has to use her vacation time (it’s never happened). Our AP gets every evening and weekend off, but works until 4:00 on Friday. I don’t feel bad if she’s “stuck in Rehoboth or Rome or Tokyo or Kansas City. A an AP that is really in it for the cultural exchange should be able to entertain herself for the odd weekend away.

That is really crummy. [/quote]

Yeah, who wants to go to Rome or Tokyo? The horror! You actually were up front about your needs with the AP upfront, she agreed to them, and then you have the audacity to take her to Europe??? True Cruella Daville stuff, this is. [/quote]

Is the airport free to explore Tokyo and Rome on her own? No. I went to Australia for 2 weeks with a family and literally never left the hotel once. On a plane with a screaming baby while my MB sat in business and took ambien. Working 24/7. Sharing a room with the kids. Being on call 24/7.   Yeah. There’s lots of reasons aupairs and nannies don’t wanT to travel with families!! [/quote]

Nannies who agree to travel are allowed to work 24/7 for extra compensation, au pairs are not.[/quote]
