[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our Au Pair lied about everything. She would throw tantrums. She demanded pay for 45 hours while only working 30 (a week). She was like a cat: she thought she was the queen of the house and she shed hair everywhere. She lied about her childcare experience and got the kids into dangerous situations, one of which involved hot soup and hot tea spilling on the 1yo and me because the 6yo had accidentally grabbed onto the tablecloth, spilling the hot stuff on us. I got into a cold shower, and it was not too bad, even though I had the worst burn. 10yo and AP took 1yo to the bathroom upstairs. 10yo tried to take off the baby's diaper., and get him (1yo) in a cold bath. AP refused even though 10yo went to talk to me about it. Next, 10yo tried to put the baby into a cold sink bath, but AP refused for fear of 1yo "catching cold." Finally,10yo was able to get some cold water on the baby's wound, but 1yo still had to go to the ER. Near the end of her stay, she started purposely disobeying my rules and pretending she did not understand to get out of work. She also started neglecting the 1yo. We had a small flood in our house and our AP [/quote]

Wow. Just wow. So you were paying this person around $130 a week when they had been promised $196 a week and you wonder why they were upset with you? If you didn’t need someone to work 45 hours or week and or aren’t willing to pay $196, you should NOT have an Au Pair. How were expecting her to afford things? How would you feel if your boss just said, “hey, you only need to work 30 hours from now on and we are cutting your pay.” Would you be able to afford your life? She can’t even legally have another job, you are her sole source of income!! You are a terrible host family and definitely should not be part of this program. You give a bad name to all of us other host parents.
