[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, We have done something similar where family stayed in au pair room while she was on vacation. There was two days overlap when au pair stayed in the guest bedroom before family left. It wasn’t a big deal for her and I think this will depends on the type of au pair you have. 
Also in my handbook I do mention that we might switch room if needed as I usually host lot of family for the holidays. I think as long as au pair has her own bed room you are not breaking any rule and you are ok (again it also depend from your au pair attitude). Good luck![/quote]

Sure, you may not be technically breaking the rules, but it doesn't make it any less inconsiderate or shi**y. Imagine you have one safe space that is your own for a year in a strange place, and then that is taken away, however temporarily. It would make me feel like you didn't value my need for personal space or comfort. 
And presumably OPs family will be doing activities and spending time with THE FAMILY during their visit...why do they need a whole apartment to hang out in? If anything, it seems an even more apt time to make sure the AP has her own established space that she can escape to with multiple visitors in the home. [/quote]
