Our au-pair has just decided that she doesn't like Geneva as we are not providing her with career advancement (honestly!). She told us last night and has booked a ticket for Amsterdam for tuesday. I can imagine some people will be thinking that we are obviously an explotatative family, but her task is to drop our 6 year old boy off at school in the morning and pick him up in the evening 4 days a week. She never worked weekends or evenings, had no requirement to do housework and had the biggest room in the house (handy because she seldom ventured out of it).
We're not a wealthy family, my wife and I both work and our son is at a local school. I can drop him off at school but the eraliest I can be back is at 530 in the evening.
Does anyone out there know whether there are such a thing as state-run afterschool clubs / day care that we can enroll our son in until we're able to try and find another au-pair?
Sprry for the ranty nature of the post, but we really feel let down about this
