Au-ppressed: A sight into the Au Pair Program

Hey listeners! In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain to give you an insider's peek into the world of the Au pair program. Let's face it, the reality often doesn't align with the beautiful lies the agencies tell. Behind the scenes, a massive business has been going on for ages, and the spotlight isn't always on what truly matters. Sure, they talk about cultural exchange, but let's be honest—cheap labor is the focus. Human rights violations, and abuses—it's an unfortunate tale we need to uncover. Regulation? Inexistent, with many gaps that are exploited for one reason: money. Don't get me wrong, some folks have a positive experience. But the majority endure hardships that no one should. So, join me as we journey together to reveal the unfiltered truth about the Au pair program, what lies beneath the surface, and the implications that we can't ignore. If you wish to read a little bit about this take a look at this article named "They Think We are Slaves" by Zack Kopplin an investigative journalist he wrote about some of the things I'll mention and it also has some of the girls' testimonies the link is at the bottom and also in the bio of my social media. If you are an Au pair who wishes to share her experience, or you are thinking about becoming an Au pair and have some questions, please email me at Passengertodriver@gmail.com or follow me on my social media IG @__nainai_ and Twitter @__NairobyR_ or if you just listened to this episode and have any comments or questions I would love to hear it, everything is welcome. Let's dive into it!"
