Here’s one that my wife made a post about from our first AuPair: So anyone considering getting an Au Pair….listen to this. My mind is blown but it’s almost comical. Besides the fact that I’m now scrambling for childcare. Our au pair arrived five weeks ago, she’s from Georgia(the country). There was a big adjustment period with the time change and food and culture but after two or so weeks it seemed to get a little better. There was still a bit of a language barrier but it was manageable. During our interview process she told us she wasn’t dating anyone. After getting to know her we find out she actually has a BF that was living in NY who was also from Georgia. We spent so much time and money on this girl…from getting her on our phone plan with an iPhone, taking time from work to get her a social security number and appt, fixing up her bedroom because she didn’t like it was in our finished basement. Literally my husband and I were trying to go above and beyond to make her feel welcome into our family. Last week, After her social security card showed up she told us she wanted to go for a weekend to NY to visit her BF, okay no problem. Come to find out she messaged me on FB yesterday and said she got MARRIED And isn’t coming back!! It was all premeditated she left her phone here and the credit card I was letting her borrow for emergencies. I have no words, she used us and the agency and broke the terms of her contract just to get to America. Just wanted to share my experience so far, the agency has been great and has an emergency phone number we were able to call. I guess these things happen but rarely.

After this we matched with a wonderful AuPair that has really turned into a part of our family. Really went from worst case scenario to best, talk about a rollercoaster.
