Be 100% honest with them about your needs, family style and expectations - from alcohol, diet, church and parenting style; if you do not want the "family experience" say so meaning if when the au pair has time off and you want alone time from them say so. many girls come here wanting to be part of their new family, but in the same token there are many that want to be left alone when off. for me personally i wanted someone who was going to be social with us.
