Technically...no.  See question 2 in this FAQ

For those who can't log on:

From the Cultural Care Website FAQ, Question 2:

Q. Can my au pair care for kids other than my own (i.e., children who are over for a play date)?
A. No, au pairs are only permitted to care for the children of their host family.

Thank you!! As a former au pair I had a disagreement with my host family who tried to force me to have play dates. Soon all the other parents just dropped kids at our house and expected me to watch them. Never offered to take my host kids for play date at their house while my hours would still be counting as working. I rematched over that and my second host family never made me host play dates without other au pair/nanny being there with other kid.[/quote]

Every AP we've had or interviewed WANTS to have play dates so they can hang out with other APs during work time.

We're usually the cautious ones stopping our AP by asking them NOT to arrange play dates with random strangers that claim to be an AP from their home country in some Facebook group online that they've never met before but want to invite to our home or take our kids to theirs.

Nope. You can stick with APs from our cluster (from our LCC's list) or meet for play dates in public locations. [/quote]
