[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You realize that if an au pair is caught breaking the rules of her visa, she will be sent home immediately - leaving the host family with no childcare?  I don't know why any host family would be ok with this.  We follow the rules of the program. [/quote]

Many LCCs don't care and all AP gets is a verbal slap on the wrist. Not saying it's ok, [b]but when the agency won't give any consequences to breaking the rules, then it's hard to do anything about it [/b]if yours is doing side gigs.[/quote]

Your attitude is exactly what gives the program a bad name. This particularly applies to the situations where HPs are breaking the rules. Clearly, I do not follow my AP around and if she lies about her plans and babysits in her free time, there is nothing I can do about it. But if she asks, the answer is no. We also don't ask/make our APs watch kids over the weekend, while DH and I take a trip or ask/make our APs work 50+ hours a week, etc. Could we get away with it? Sure! But it does not make it ok to break the rules. [/quote]

+100   IF there's an issue, it is not going to be pinned on us. I say this as I suspect that our au pair got married in secret a few weeks ago.....[/quote]
