I'm 20 years old. I'm an male au pair. I think every family have the right to choose female or male au pari. I personally don't understand all the fuss about the male au pairs. Male au pairs are better with boys I agree and less demanding. No emotion changes and we're more active. I'm from Croatia - Europe. If you want to meet new culture, have fun and try something new... contact me on my e-mail. burnrouter@gmail.com Hi!

I'm currently applying to find a family in the USA that are willing to host a male au pair. And all of this, all of the host parents concerns are just fascinating, I can read this all night long... but it's very late here so I gotta go to sleep... Too bad that the male au pair topics are just a few and there's not that much of activity here than on the location and homesickness emotion topics... I think parents have all the tools to find out who their au pair actually is before choosing her or him. Again, I'm just amazed by all of this opinions about this I find this REALLY interesting… I’m currently applying to find a family in the USA that are willing to host a male au pair.

Why wouldn't boys like to change diapers? I personally would consider a male au pair (and have), but would not consider one whose mother is posting on his behalf, and who is excused from a job changing diapers because "boys don't do that."

He would like to practice French and experience life in another country. He is looking for the family in Belgium with children 6-14. (I don't think boys would like to change diapers) However, a very intelligent young man and exceptionally good student, he would good addition to a family in Belgium with children who want to speak English. He would be a good role model for boys, specially teanagers. What do you think, will he find something? It looks that most people are looking for a girl?

Maybe you need a babysitter, or better yet Super Nanny to sort you out there. CV doesnt really have the right to make up lies about people and if you had a hint of common sense you would or you might know that! Take care big mama!

No one said men weren't important for a child's development. Way to take this entire post and topic out of context. And as this is a private blog, CV has every right to monitor comments. Perhaps you should add a law degree to your psych degree as you feel you are an expert in your rights. Bahahaha…I’m glad you don’t have anything better to do than post this.

I also believe having my post edited by an unknown person is an attack on freedom of speech. http://imaginifbusiness.blogspot.com/2007/04/parents-responsible-for-child-abuse-and.html As you will see, the evidence and statistics compiled have been done so by women as well. No i have no doubt this post will upset which ever woman or women who run this website, but the evidence is there. And this to my mind suggests children are as unsafe while under female supervision as they are under male supervision. I hope my freedom of speech will be respected and this post will not be edited into a lie like my previous one. This is a serious matter and i strongly believe men must be shown more respect when it comes to childcare. Obviously mothers have the over all right to chose who look after their children, but they should not be frightened off with lies from websites like this one that men are responsible for most child neglect when that is simply not the case. Again i have a degree in Psychology and i know the importance of having men round children. It is natural and beneficial to their development, especially when it comes to girls. Just as boys need proper female nurturing, girls especially need fathers, which many Psychology case studies will show.
