[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was an au pair years ago, and a nanny as wel. I am now a mom to 3 and have hosted 3 au pairs. We treat our aps like family and each of them has told us repeatedly how happy they are with their time with us. The cultural exchange is paramount to us and having flexibility with our weird work schedules is needed. Yes, some people abuse the program but I don’t think it is the majority by far. [/quote] It makes a huge difference to the mis-treated snd abused au pair, doesn't it?[/quote] Yes, but there are many levels of steps taken to prevent abuse, and obviously there could be more. Saying a program that generally works well for both sides should be abolished because it has been difficult for a minority doesn’t make sense. I’m absolutely for more checks and balances and regulations but I don’t think it needs to fundamentally change. [/quote]
