The cheapest child care option on the market. Cheap nanny. Servitude type of work. Deffinitely not a cultural experience. Bad business. Au pair is often abused by host family: overhours, lack of food, withold stipend, taking care of pet, insults, offensive remarks. Everything behind closed doors. Agencies require calling Au pair member of the family/friend because in this way its easy to manipulate participant. Currently program with lawsuit. Very double side faced program.
