She was in our home for over 6 weeks telling us lies , ignoring our family and children being lazy beyond belief except when it came time to go out with her friends. She had no interest in our family just being in this country and going out with friends every single night she was here from the day after she arrived. She spent her on duty time sitting at our computer on line with her friends. We gave her every opportunity to make this work and she chose to scream at my wife and argue about the very responsiblities she lists in her profile. She left a bathtub full of water with small children in the house in their bathroom and even after being told of the danger did it again in one week. She will not clean up after herself let alone the children. She complained about working 30-35 hours per week even though she is paid for 45. She will tell you want you want to hear so she can stay in the country. She is on her way out and she is scrambling to stay. She showed a total disregard for our family and admitted all that she did before she left. See photos. Comment   >> Posted: Feb 05 '08 by Leticia in Wisconsin, United States My name is Leticia and I am a very good friend of Isabela Rodrigues. I have known her for a long time. We went to University together to study teaching. I can tell you that if the above comments about Isabela are true then they do not at all reflect the person that I know. I also worked as an AuPair for 6 months in the US. From speaking to Isabela I understand that the family above had four children and made numerous promises to her that they later did not fulfil. During my time as an AuPair I was lucky enough to live with a family who were happy to help me to look after their children. From my knowledge most families will tell you that they are happy to share responsabilities with you and then when you arrive it is a totally different story. Certainly in this case Isabela was left with four children to look after with hardly any help with even the most basic of child care tasks. I happen to know that Isabela has worked with other families in the past without any complaints at all including her new family. I think the most important thing to remember is that there are always two sides to any story.
