[quote=Anonymous]I am continually amazed that someone would show up as an au pair without any kitchen or home skills at all. If I was sending my teenager off to take care of someone's children in a foreign country for a year, I would make sure he or she knew how to make a simple dish for themselves, boil an egg, do their own laundry, know how to lock the door and turn off the lights behind them. I'm not sure what the expectation is--an all inclusive resort? Having grown up in a single parent family, I was doing all of these things in middle school but I understand children in first world countries are quite sheltered these days. Still, it seems amazing one would go off to be an au pair or to live on their own in any situation with no grasp of simple life skills.[/quote]
