=== A How-to guide? ===

Some of the information on specific countries read like how-to guides, which Wikipedia is not. See the example of Italy specifically. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/96.55.116.194|96.55.116.194]] ([[User talk:96.55.116.194|talk]]) 05:03, 26 August 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Do some people force their au pair to wear a uniform, like a maid or a servant boy? If, which kind of clothes are the au pairs forced to wear? Skirts or blouses for girls and white shirts with ties for boys? (OK, I know most au pairs are girls, but some are also boys).
(unsigned)

I don't think so. The normal relationship between an au pair and her host is more equal than a uniform would suggest.
I think you are thinking more of the sort of au pairs that you might find on other internet sites!

Maybe someone who has been or is a a real (not thoose on the Internet sites) au pair, or hosts or had hosted an au pair can answer this question? Again: If, what kind of uniform?
(unsigned)

We are currently looking for an au-pair. My wife used to be an au-pair. So I think my comments are at least partially informed. I am not aware of au-pairs wearing uniforms.

I am looking for the family for au pair. My e mail : ostapenkon@mail.ru

The au pair shouldn't be forced to wear a uniform, because she (or he) is not to be a servant - but a part of the family, an equal. There are however some that will force them to wear uniforms as well as treat their au pair like a servant or even like a slave in different ways. This is very unfortunate.

I'm an au pair currently in Norway. I'm not forced to wear a uniform, nor are any of the au pairs that go to my language class. The laws are very, very strict in this country pertaining to how au pairs are treated. http://www.udi.no/templates/Tema.aspx?id=4661 That link is to immigration services in Norway, specifically, the au pair page. There should be a link to the contract, ect as well from there to verify what I've said. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/80.202.51.143|80.202.51.143]] ([[User talk:80.202.51.143|talk]]) 07:45, 18 September 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Typo in nationality? ==

"In the UK, an au pair must be a national of the one of the European countries of Andorra, Faroe Islands, ..."

Is this a typo that should read

"In the UK, an au pair must be a national of the one of the European countries or Andorra, Faroe Islands, ..."

(i.e. "or" instead of "of")?

Or is this made up?

Can a family in the UK not have an American au-pair?

* Ok, I've confirmed things from the [http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/working_in_the_uk/en/homepage/schemes_and_programmes/au_pairs.html Home Office] website and have clarified the text in the article. --[[User:JimmyTheWig|JimmyTheWig]] 13:14, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

== Useful NYT article on demand for Chinese Au Pairs in US ==

This was in today's NYT: [http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/05/us/05aupair.html?ex=1157601600&en=3c227678b009debd&ei=5087%0A To Give Children an Edge, Au Pairs From China]. I'm sure the editors interested in this can use it. --[[User:Bobak|Bobak]] 02:44, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Plural is AUX PAIRS in french language .

In singular : A + LE PAIR = AU PAIR
In plural : A + LES PAIRS = AUX PAIRS

A + LE = AU
A + LES = AUX

it is abreviatude format.

== Article needs additional citations for verification ==

I added the refimprove tag. The article consists almost entirely of un-cited assertions, which look like the opinions of some person or organization.

Please add cites for all of this material, in order to demonstrate that it is indeed [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NPOV | NPOV] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability | reliable].

Thanks. - [[Special:Contributions/189.122.91.31|189.122.91.31]] ([[User talk:189.122.91.31|talk]]) 07:29, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

== added information ==

The problem of sexual abuse might be mentioned in the article though I have no first hand knowledge on it or how it might be included. It can be both ways. If it is included, it should be short since this is only a small part of the subject, not the main part.

===Abuse of the au pair by one of the parents===
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-15202122-wife-found-photos-of-au-pair-in-bed-with-husband.do

''She had found the photographs, including two showing oral sex, in an envelope with her partner's name on it when she went searching for nail clippers in the au pair's room at their home in Staines and opened a drawer.''

''She and Patrick Diavewa, who have been together for five years, had hired Italian Valerie Del Franco, 23, to look after their children aged two and seven months. Within three months the affair had begun.''

===Abuse of the child by the au pair===
http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_528573.html

''AN INDONESIAN maid had sex with her employer's 11-year-old son after fondling and touching him, a district court heard on Wednesday. The court heard that the accused pulled him into her room and performed oral sex on him.''

Indonesian, Italian au pairs were involved. [[User:Suomi Finland 2009|Suomi Finland 2009]] ([[User talk:Suomi Finland 2009|talk]]) 20:33, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
