"Many of the roughly 17,500 au pairs who live and work in the United States every year have positive experiences. But according to a dozen current and former au pairs as well as former au pair company employees, ordeals like Julianaâs arenât unusual, either. They relay horror stories of au pairs who are overworked, humiliated, refused meals, threatened with arrest and deportationâeven victims of theft. Worst of all, they say, complaining about exploitative, unsafe working conditions rarely makes any difference. Sometimes, reporting abuse makes the situation worse."
