I am the daughter of the father featured in "The $50M AuPair". Please be cautious of AuPairs

I believe it is time to come clean about what really happened. I am the daughter of the family that hired the now infamous AuPair who embezzled $50M. Thank you to the courageous father that was brave enough to share the story so that it would not be seen as an attack on the AuPair. We are only trying to protect others from falling into the same situation. <br><br>I am simply writing this to clear the air up about the situation and reveal some information that was not in the original story. <br><br>The AuPair is currently is in danger of being deported, so I will only be referring to her as "AP". <br><br>As we are aware, AP is not AuPair material. I am not sure of her full background but it is definitely not as innocent as she claimed. My father said that she had mentioned getting blacked out drunk and being in fights, which I found to be strange. She had also claimed that she had a promising career as a police officer and was going to leave after 2 years. Clearly that was a lie and we do not know why she was really here. <br><br>She easily manipulated us into doing her work for her. She would complain about having to do any work and would guilt us into doing it for her. Our mom did the cooking, our dad did the cleaning and grocery shopping, and I did the driving. She was only responsible for babysitting. There was even one time when I had to write a 10 page paper in one night for school and she still had me drive her to a party and pick her up at 4am. <br><br>My parents are sweet people but they are gullible. She had convinced them that she had a promising career as a police officer and that she was going to miss us when she left after two years. They were blinded by that and refused to see any red flags. When they finally realized she was up to something, they confronted her but she convinced them that it was the mom that was doing something suspicious. Thank god that they realized the truth. <br><br>She would often bring males in the home while my parents were not there. Once was when I was home alone and the mom was not there. She had one of her boyfriends over and I left the house to avoid being there. Another time was when my parents were on vacation and she had her boyfriend over and left him in the house alone. When she left, she would take everything with her. We are assuming that was so she wouldn't leave any evidence in case the police showed up. <br><br>She would constantly text males and was even sexting with one of our friends. <br><br>She tried to manipulate me by trying to be my friend. She would ask me about my relationships and my sex life. She tried to give me dating advice when I was going through a tough time. <br><br>She never cared about me or my brother. She would constantly be on her phone and ignore us for hours. There was even one time where she completely abandoned us for 24 hours because she went to a party and didn't tell anyone. <br><br>I was not there when my parents found her at the hotel, but what happened was that my mom and dad were at a restaurant and saw her. She was clearly hiding something but she refused to come clean. They asked to see her phone and she refused and said that she was going to call the police on them. At this point it was obvious that she was up to something and my mom said that they were going to the police station and that AP had to come with them or that they would call the police. She refused to and that is when they called the police and reported her. <br><br>Unfortunately, AP was not arrested and is currently in hiding. She is being represented by a lawyer and is currently using the money that she embezzled to sue my parents for defamation. We also received a visit from a private investigator asking invasive questions. My parents are currently being represented by a lawyer as well and are counter suing for theft and fraud. <br><br>I would like to say that not all AuPairs are like this, but please be cautious. Do your research. Make sure that they are doing background checks and that you are doing interviews with the AuPair before hiring them. Do not be blinded by AuPairs simply because you want the help. <br><br>Thank you again to the father who posted our story.
