Who cares? Au Pairs seem to hate the program, host parents are disappointed at least 50% of the time judging by rematch rates, and there have been too many legal challenges to the program for it to be a safe bet for parents just looking for child care. Good riddance. Most professionals are working from home now anyway, and they won't have to worry about giving someone "the best year" during a pandemic.
What on earth are you talking about? Our au pairs have become like family to us. Our kids adore them. Each au pair has stayed with us for two years and declared it the best experience of their lives. They've each gone home and gotten good professional jobs because of their fluency in English. It is great for many.
Professionals can't work from home with young kids without childcare indefinitely, nor while homeschooling. It just doesn't work. Having live in care (no exposure risk) during the pandemic has been amazing for our family.
I'm glad its working for you. Once the pandemic is over, you can get more au pairs. It's not exactly a crisis.

We were done with the program after this year; then covid hit.
We planned on hosting at least another year or two as we know how great it has been and would be during these uncertain school schedule times.
If anything; demand for APs is up; nannies down.
Another dumb move for trump- I think he’ll change course quickly.

This is where confusion lies from the WH briefing. But obviously the text of the order shows they are banned, if they don’t have a visa already.
