[quote=Anonymous]I was an au pair in Europe for a very wealthy family after college in the summer (I’m American). At first it was exciting but I was mostly interested in the cultural exchange part although I also like children and babysat a lot. I grew resentful towards the end because the pay was low for the amount of hours I worked and the kids were very spoiled and they lived a very extravagant life. I also started meeting people and wanted more personal time to explore those friendships, travel and be an independent person. I’m assuming it’s similar for a lot of young au pairs that think of childcare as secondary. I never resented the kids and still have a good relationship with them but the parents just came off as very entitled. I think age plays a big roll as well, you are young, immature still and want to enjoy life as an “adult”. [/quote]
