I understand that the Au Pair is not a prseasoionfl Care Giver, but if they really have no experience, they have no business caring for children. If they agree to go to work leaving their children with an inexperienced Au Pair, they are not a GREAT host family, they are terrible parents. Also: if the Au Pair has no experience, and they decide to stay home to help her do her job, patiently they are not GREAT host family, they are SAINTS!!! I agree with everything else, but not that point. No darling, Au Pair means experience, and being BAD AT IT is not quite ideal. Some things the Au Pair should know about her/his self before they are trusted with other peoples' children. Woul you pay me a salary and airfare ticket, lodging, vacations, bonuses, feed me and pamper me, so I could be your dad's nurse If I had no experience in nursing. And would you keep me around, patiently teaching how to care for someone in need if I am making tons of mistakes children are in need of care. Thank you.
