Marcela Rostosky: I got this book because I thought it would belike the movie Au Pair, but to my surprise it ended up to be a good read. No itwas not like the movie, but it was the idea, I did like it and it wasinteresting. The different adventures of each au pair had me wondering if itreally happens to au pairs in real life.
Fiona Wilson:I started this book immediately after
finishing The Playgroup and I enjoyed it just as much.
I work in the childcare industry and couldn't
wait to get stuck into this one. It shows the bad and good sides of the au pair
industry. I say industry because that is exactly what it is. Reading this it
seemed like there was such a high turnover of young girls in some jobs, and I
know that this is what does happen at times in real life.
There are some hilarious situations thecharacters find themselves in which are all written brilliantly. I thoroughlyenjoyed reading about the various family units and how the au pairs fitted in,or didn't, into the family units.
Anna Pitt:The Au Pair was a page turning easy read, just
the sort of thing you need when you want to relax and not have to work too hard
with a book. The characters are well interwoven and some will get your heckles
up while others will have you wanting to look after them.
Scarily realistic about the world of au pairs
too! I'm guessing a few people have shared some au pair related home truths
with the author. This is all about character and plot and a fun read, but I can
tell Janey Fraser has done her research. If you are thinking about being /
having an au pair, be sure to read this first. It is better than any 'how to
deal with (being) an au pair' guidebook!
