Also good, when something works for one of your kids. Carolina, the Colombian Au pair, must leave the end of July. Two years on her visa, max. Daughter and her husband go through this outfit: Cultural Care Au Pair | Childcare you can trust like family. Thought they had a perfect match in another Colombian girl. Doesn't want to live in a city, and has experience with a newborn, which my daughter hopes to have. Carolina talked to her and filled her in on everything from her point of view. Girl seemed to string them along though, and when my daughter said she needed an answer soon, the girl said her father said everything was going to fast, and canceled the match. Two days later she rematched, contacted my daughter, and told her that money was the actual problem, and, she, her sister, and her mother, convinced her father to let her do it. She needs to pay $1000 to the program, $160 for a visa, and an overnight stay hours away, to get the visa. That is a lot of money for the average Colombian.
Makes me feel good about opening the account for Carolina. The $5000 is now $5813.
