[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I both travel frequently, sometimes at the same time (and rarely together) and we have NEVER left one of our au pairs alone with our kids for even one overnight. We always hire a babysitter to do the overnights, or have grandma stay if she's available. The one thing we do *rarely* fudge in the rules is the 1.5 consecutive days off, but it's a rare occurrence and our au pairs work well under 45 hours. Since that isn't a State Dept rule and not all agencies do this it seems like less of an issue, and we always check with our au pairs and try to give them extra time off that week. It's usually when we have something going on on a Saturday evening and need their help but we give as much other time off as we can. Typically our au pairs ONLY work afternoons, and we usually can give one full weekday off midweek, but then they may work 6-7 hours the next day. [/quote]
