[quote=Anonymous]We've had two SA au-pairs, both Afrikaans from the cape. Very different personalities, but both good drivers and handled discipline in a firm but kind fashion with two boys. One of the plusses of SA au pairs is that they will be street smart and aware of their personal security - not the sort to forget to lock up or set the alarm. The economic and security situation in SA causes many SA au pairs to treat the year in the US as a test run and you might find she's spending a lot of free time investigating student visas, etc. A potential issue is that huge fraction of young people in SA smoke. Many lie on their applications and find it quite difficult to quit when they come to the US, although the price of cigarettes in relation to the au pair stipend provides a strong incentive to do so.
