[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I asked our LCC (APIA) in Maryland and she said APs cannot be left alone (in home or in car) with any minors outside HF. I told her about this thread and she said that there is no way any LCC for APIA would ever give their blessing to carpooling or play dates with kids outside HFs b/c of liability. [/quote]

So now it’s not a visa issue it’s a liability issue?  :roll: The tenacity of the two or three anti play date posters is so odd.

Honestly any time you have a visitor into your home it’s a liability issue. That’s true whether I am in charge or my husband is—or a nanny or an au pair. If a kid got hurt at my house, the kid’s  parents could theoretically sue me. And yes,  it would be me they sued, the home owner.  not the au pair, who is a foreign national with no assets. I am not going to stop having play dates because someone might sue me. (I do however have an umbrella liability policy just in case and i don’t have kids over without having a good feel for their parents.)  I guess everyone fears different things. I would not forego having kids over out of fear of getting sued; i would be far more concerned about my kids not having fun and developing friendships with their peers. But you do you—just please stop judging others. [/quote]
