Complaint   >> Posted: Feb 20 '07 by Naomi in New South Wales, Australia
I a 25 year old Australian girl and this was my 3rd au pair job. Both jobs before had all been positive experiences. I started to work for Sue on January 11th 2007, which was meant to be up until the summer. However 2 weeks after I had arrived she fired me for reasons that are totally argueble.

All throughout my stay she made issues and problems to make my experience horrible. She fired me on the grounds such as that I was not an African nanny (as they are cheaper to hire). Also there were many issues that are very trival which she made into huge issues, such as one night she left me with her 3 month old son and he started to cry which i couldn't stop him so I called her 50 minutes after which she used that I wasn't an experienced nanny, and that is what I'm there for.

She generally gave excuses why i wasn't good enough to move with them to Kenya, as she would feel that Im another kid she has to stress about. Also there was the issue on the website she had 40 hours as the working load but she never remembered putting that in and I worked anywhere from 50-80 hours with no extra pay. Fianlly there was the whole issue that I didnt have a visa on arrival when I entered the counrty and the comapny held on to my passport for 3 and half weeks (this is what I was told). I only got my passport back when I needed to leave and wanted a visa for Mali. The famliy really had me in a position my self confidence became very low and i couldn't leave the counrty as I had no passport.
