[quote=Anonymous]I've hosted for 12 years and don't have this problem. I mostly have independent au pairs who don't need my constant help and advice, have the tact not to barge into the conversation when I am interacting with my child, and prefer to spend time in their room or out with friends when not working. I did have one younger au pair who needed more of this type of advice or hand holding, but I have no issue communicating directly and telling her 'now is not a good time', ' I am busy', or 'ask your friend or LCC they know it better', or ' I want to be alone for a bit now' Just talk to her, it is one sided because she tells you her needs, but as another adult in the house, you should communicate your needs to her too.[/quote]
