[quote=Anonymous]There are some points that I agree with on this post especially with the J1 ban. -Au pair labor market has become a farce. They are cherry picking wealthy families with older kids, which are not the ones most in need of cheap childcare to begin with. They now advertise for rematches on FB. -Agencies are incentivized to keep their au pairs making the rematch process a farce. Some au pairs jump many times just to get better jobs. -Agencies often have no refund policies so your au pair can leave to a richer family, and you are stuck paying the agency fee, waiting for rematch that right now doesn't exist. -Au pairs work 45 hours a week which to begin with is not a lot for childcare since there is a lot of downtime. Most parents are forced now to reduce these hours because of threat of rematch. (like the poster who only used 20) If you signed up to work 45 hours, you should work 45 hours. [/quote]
