My Random, Crazy & True AP Story
We here at AuPairMom invite you to tell us some of your random, crazy and true stories about your experience with an au pair. We know you have stories, and we invite you to let ‘em loose.
Just two constraints:
- 1. The story has to be TRUE.
- 2. The story has to be told in one sentence.
So here’s the challenge:
Tell us about an outlandish au pair-related situation that is actually TRUE. It can be good, bad or neutral, but the story needs to be TRUE. It can be first or second hand, but no further, so that you’re sure it is TRUE.
Maybe this way I we can get out some of our yah-yahs. It’s a grey day here– lighten it up!

There were a group of Polish girls in our former area “cluster” who took nude photos of each other…”doing things”…to each other…tried to sell them to a porn site. Not sure if they succeeded, they explained their actions by saying they could not have any fun on what little they were paid.
Oh my. How were they found out?
We had the carpets cleaned during the day and when I came home the au pair had tied plastic bags on everyone’s feet and they were all “skating” on the wet/slippery carpet. A fantastically funny sight!
My GF’s AP was from Bonsia (I think?). They introduced her to next-door neighbor divorcee who was of same nationality so she would feel more at home, find groceries, reading materials, etc. She ended up sleeping with him, getting pregnant by a guy 17 years older than her. They kicked out the AP (other issues too). She married the neighbor. My GF was pregnant at the time too. They still live next door to each other. The “babies” are now 6 and in first grade together. But the AP and my GF don’t talk.
oh my.
My gosh, that must be the most aawkward situation ever. Ever.
OMG….
I am an Au Pair. I have two stories to tell about my time in my last host family. Firstly: I was “not allowed personal use of the car” for (at first a MONTH!) 2 weeks because I had returned the car a total of 1 hour late WITH permission by my HM on a saturday night while they were at home watching a movie. Secondly that same host family basically forgot my birthday. And their gift to me late in the evening? A bag of purple M&Ms and a card.
at least you got something…I got 2 tickets for a musical..or that’s what they said I would get…my bday was in november an I’m still waiting…
i had an au pair friend who worked for a single dad and his bathroom happened to be right across the hall from her bedroom. lets just say, he would always “forget” to close his door when he took showers….. jeez
I am an Au Pair, i found the eldest boy spinning around on the spot in the garden… next thing i knew we were all doing it, three young boys the mum and me laughing our brains out
Lets just say i’m glad i recorded it on my phone as it’s one of the funniest sights i’ve ever seen.
AP 1 took nude photos of herself with our camera and left them on the memory stick.
AP 2 got involved with an awful guy, gave him all of her savings, then they broke up.
AP 3 got pregnant.
AP 4 – no stories yet, but I’m sure we’ll have one before the year is out.
One of our APs cooked a frozen pizza as a late night snack for her and her friend, but left it on the cardboard disk from the box and set off the smoke detectors. Luckily my toddler and infant were heavy sleepers but the APs were worried b/c I told them my rule is “you wake ‘em, you take ‘em.”
Another good one – a few months into her stay another AP complained that our vacuum cleaner was super difficult to use and didn’t even suck up the dirt. She had been pushing around the vacuum in the upright position! We showed her how it is much easier to use and sucks up more dirt when you release it from the upright position.
My Au-pairs friend was matched with a HF in a southern state, ( very outgoing and lovely AP) When she arrived the house was beautiful she was given the whole lower half of the home, beautiful room, kitchen and bath all to herself. The HM was 25 with 5 children under 6 and the HD was in his 40+ ( Doctor) both Muslim. The HM told the AP that when my husband arrives home you are to go to your room and you are not permitted to eat with us! Needless to say, she rematched after 6 weeks.
Single HD in our group just recently seperated from HM. Previously they have always had female AP. When Male AP arrived the poor guys room was still pink and decorated with all female articles, bedding, etc. The male AP posted the pictures on Facebook with a comment ” my new room” in fact I think it is still that way. Host dad is a doctor. Poor Guy.. I felt bad for him!
Week 1: Fell asleep and forgot to pick my son up from school
Week 2: Rearranged my pantry & locked her and the kids out of the house. 1 1/2 hours to drive home and back to work
Week 3: Emailed me her social calendar
Week 4: Set the home alarm off because she didn’t put the dog in her kennel. Called her to go home because the police were already on their way. She was shopping at Walmart. Called her 10 minutes later – still shopping at Walmart
Week 5: Lost the kids at local water park
Week 6: didn’t go anywhere – talked on the phone all day
Week 7: Snuck some boys/friends into the house (the actually flew in from her country) while we were out of town
Week 8: Working on rematch
Wow. Those are all crazy! I can see why you are in rematch!! Although, I personally don’t see what is wrong with her emailing you her calender. I would think that would be more helpful regarding planning schedules, etc. then if she just sprang on you that she had plans, etc. My AP tells me when she has things planned with friends, classmates, etc. We can then plan schedules that everyone is happy with.
I’m guessing the AP emailed Jennifer her social calendar so that Jennifer would rearrange her schedule to accommodate the AP.
1. Quit my first family after being treated cold and working atleast 14 hours a day, and 8hours on my day off…last time i checked 8hours work is a full days work in the normal world. Plus a lot lot lot lottttt more issues.
2. Second family perfect, everything promised happend, lovely connection with mother we were like sisters.
3. Current family, lovely parents, but I get covered in bruises by the kid, a few days ago i was threatend with a knife, thankgod the older brother was there to stop him…thats all I’ll say.
i have read a story on a site similar to this one ( so i believe its a true story) about a HM coming home early only to find her AP naked having sex in the living room with her boyfriend…
