[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most basements in this area tend to have water problems and have only only one exit\adit.  Frequently, there are mold\mildew problems.  The dogs and cats don't even have to sleep in basememt so why wouldI expect a human to live in the basement.  An AP needs her owm space, with private bath.  This is 2013 not 1950.[/quote]

While I agree that you shouldn't put an au pair in a space that floods or has mold problems or no second egress, that leaves plenty of perfectly appropriate basement living spaces. Of course an AP needs her own private room, but I disagree on the bath. Is it nicer for them?  Sure of course. But as long as you're up front, there is no issue sharing.

I don't understand why the year makes a difference, but I will not that in the DC area anyway, most of the families that live close to the city where APs would want to live are in houses from the the 1940s or earlier unless they have a tear-down...so I guess APs would have to decide - far out in a modern home, or next to the hot spots but live "like you're in the 1950s" whatever you meant by that.
