[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm interviewing now, and these girls Do. Not. Get. It. They're horrified at the suggestion that they can't take kids to the library, zoo, playground, wherever, while this virus is spreading. And none of them have given a thought to limiting their own social outings due to medical risk (not just for them, but for the family they live with). But, but-- that will ruin *my special superfun year* of partying in the USA! Me, me, ME!

They will start taking this seriously once an au pair or two dies from coronavirus, or if it takes root in their home countries. The agencies need to talk some sense into them, because it's a serious risk to match now. I wouldn't do it.[/quote]

This post epitomizes that host families do not really care about the cultural experience, they just want cheap childcare. [/quote]

Ok they are between the ages of 18-26, likely mostly on the younger end. Would you have really been that freaked out if you didnt have kids??? I sure wouldn’t have been. I never got the flu shot until I had kids. I was always pretty healthy, almost never even took ibuprofen for fevers and tried to sleep it off. I became a lot more careful once I had kids. I wouldn’t judge them for that. You need to spell it out.[/quote]
