    This program doesn't work as a cultural experience between hosts and Au pair. It looks great on a paper and photographs. Not any host especially that one who wants independent Au pair is going to bother abouth her safety. The biggest mistake that agencies creates is telling Au pairs that they can count on hosts. Hosts don't want problems only elastic childcare. Telling Au pair what to do and where to be after 45 hours of work is rude and violating of free movement. Au pair is also waking up when HF is screaming or fighting at midnight or screams on child at 4 am. Au pairs want to travel but the possibility of doing that is in last month and don't want to waste additional money for back to the country ticket. There is no much philosophy in it.

I really, really feel sorry for this au pair. Your living arrangements must be terrible. You spend all of your time on these forums, complaining about the wrongs you've suffered. It sounds like you've been abused or taken advantage of. Please contact your LCC, or, if the situation is really that bad, the police.

If that's not the case and you're simply unhappy, then take actions to change that. Go make friends. Find a new host family. You're in the US for a short period of time in a program that really is designed to give you a taste of American life. I promise you there's a better life that spending all your time on DCUM. And if my au pair only read your posts and believed you, she wouldn't be here having the time of her life, working 20 hours a week caring for kids she now considers family and enjoying all the perks that go along with having a host family that truly cares for her.
