Au Pairs – Imagine for a moment that you went to the hospital and you were in the care of doctors and nurses.  How would you feel if those doctors and nurses who were there to care for you were more interested in texting or using their personal computer than caring for you

Life as an au pair is a fine balance between employee and family member.  You live with your host family and participate as a member of the family – but you also have clear responsibilities as a childcare provider.  What message are you sending to the children when you would rather interact with your phone or computer than them?

Its also a safety concern when you are not paying enough attention to the children in your care.  Accidents happen, but when an adult care giver is closeby and appropriately supervising the children – chances of major injury dramatically reduce.  So Go UnPlugged!!v
