[quote=Anonymous]Honestly I think its silly to think there is one answer to why AP's come and why Host Families need them. We joined because we need some back up care for random emergencies and school pick up. We have no family around so having another adult in the mix is really helpful. And there is no argument that we could hire an American for the same hours without paying someone full time. We also wanted Spanish language skills to help our kids at school. We have had an au pair from Spain and she took full advantage of travelling the U.S. and having a blast. She likely went home with no money but says it was the best year of her life. Our last au pair was from Mexico and managed to save money and send money home to her parents. She also says it was the best year of her life. Not all HF's are the same and not all Au Pairs are the same. [/quote]
