[quote=Anonymous]we've had au pairs for 8+ years, and our schedule has varied, though not as much as yours. my work needs could be different and dh has inconsistent travel. we always give a schedule the sunday before, and are very fair with the hours (never go beyond the program rules), are very fair with weekends and vacations, etc. We do not fill the hours like some families. Right now our current au pair works a lot of 20 hours weeks. I see some people saying au pairs don't work weekends - ours is typically Friday or Saturday night so we can go out to dinner, but sometimes more when kids have different activities at the same time. we've never had a problem with great au pairs. Also, so many families are such jerks about the hours, not giving a schedule, etc. You sound organized and I think a lot of people would appreciate it. I agree that flexibility goes a long way - so letting potential au pairs know they'll have some extra time off would be valued. [/quote]
