It’s highly unlikely he will bad APs, many of his staff have them.

The smart parents will figure out a way to create a 2 family + nanny social bubble, and will have all the parents work at one house while nanny cares for the children at the other house.
I bet daycare workers will benefit most from this - they can likely double or triple the low pay a center offers.
You know the au pair program is tiny, right? 17,000 au pairs nationwide (as in, an average of 340 per state--though of course they are clustered heavily in some states). pausing program won't make much difference either way--people may do as you suggest but if they do it will have a lot more to do with daycare and school options.

Seems like tomorrow will be the day. Nobody knows how au pairs will be affected until the text of the EO is released. Everything else is pure speculation.

See? Who says Trump is an embarrassment. He's fulfilling the wishes of downtrodden German nannies.

Sounds like he’ll sign it today. NPR says still negotiating on J1 visas for au pairs.

This.
Coming here on a J1 visa is far from essential. As long as we are on restrictions as a nation, restrictions need to also be on non essential international travel.
Plus with a very high rematch rate there will be a lot of movement.

Try calling the WH switchboard instead, unlikely a Congressional office can impact this. If you do call your Senator or Congressman, try to target ones who are "friends" of the President - may have more mpact.

Good. This program exploits both families and au pairs. I won't miss it.
