European au pair applicants and the British families who host them are worried about what Brexit will mean.

Cheryl Newbury, a single mother-of-two from Weston-super-Mare, has been using au pairs for two years and says losing them would be disastrous.

This is the second summer she has stayed with the family, and she told Sky News she is worried about being able to return in 2020.

Yaaa

But, but... Brexit is supposed to hamper the working class?

And this impacts how many people exactly?

Why were we not wanted about this ore referendum?

That's going to be a game changer for most people in the UK.

The middle classes will be distraught!! Brexit is horrendous!! Who will take care of their children?

Next they’ll be taking their 😂😂😂

The number of people that give a rats ass has risen to 185% according to Dianne Abbott

The tragedy of it all

Wow! Champagne Socialist parents having to look after their own kids!!

Oh my god, rich parents will have to put some effort into raising their kids! Of all the terrible things about Brexit, this isn't one of them.

1 m brits on unemployment benefit would benefit from a job ?

Scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of Brexit scare stories. Quite offensive as the real people who drive our economy through their toil in factories and offices will never need or aspire to use an au pair- they’re more concerned with mundane maters like commuting costs.

This is awful news one may have to look after the children oneself!

I wonder how many people have said something about Au Paris without knowing what it is? I'm not picking sides I'm just curious. I'm guessing it'll be 0. It's not like people on the internet too talk about things like they are experts when they have no actual knowledge

pray4theMillionaires

Young British women are about to reap the benefits of BritainFirst!!

Au Pairs are for couples who don't know how to look after their kids

Where did you get your figures from ? Any valid source ?

Err, how is this news?

Quelle Horreur 😱.....where will it all end!?

Who the hell has an au pair anyway?

Great news! The end of slave labour

Seriously sky news you really are the Pitts!! Why don’t you get on board the positive side to brexit you know the side that the majority of Britain voted for

Not even news!!!

Oh the tradegy! Such a shame for RICH people! Wish I could afford an ‘au pair’ or in British ‘a nanny’ for my 3 kids😂

Thats because London is now a 3rd world city, lets atleast try to be honest.

Before mass migration from the old USSR, au pairs came from English speaking countries like Australia, NZ and heaven forbid.... our own bloody country!

No problem, there’s plenty of immigrants in London to chose from when we’re out the EU, if you dare.

The majority end up working for non-British couples in London, all the hours under the Sun and for a pittance.

Excellent more shit for the rich to panic about I mean who will the husband's fuck behind their snooty wives backs when the secretary is busy.

Oh no there’ll be floods of tears 😭 in bohemia , hemp made moccasins will be thrown and organic free trade coffee ☕️ will be split,

And?

The Tories have well and truly fucked themselves over there

Wow! This is like my road to Damascus moment. If only I had know this back in 2016.

Rich kids of Britain benefit - now Mummy will have to spend time with you instead of lunching with the girls

Lol - and this is news how? Will only affect the Chelsea tractor brigade so who cares!

Good thing maybe these people can start looking after their own kids eh.

Oh dear. But here’s a solution. Look after your own kids!

Of course!! But once this stupid LEAVE thing is resolved they will be knocking at UK door!!!! The Times

Oh my God, We’re going to need to look after our own children ! 😱 BrexitHome TurquoiseTory ActionBrexit

Excellent news, another positive outcome of Brexit British nannies used to be considered best in the World. Maybe now Brits can train as nannies, install some much needed discipline in the lives of youngsters. It'll make a change from parents employing non-Brits cos they're cheap

Is this the best you could find?

OHH NOO!!! The English will no longer be able to bring in cheap labour from poorer Eastern and Southern European countries to do all their house work and raise their kids!!! You’ll have to do your own laundry and spend time with your children... THE HORROR!!

Oh no! 😱 Not to mention, who'll serve our coffee in Pret? 😭😭😭

F**K what will we do now ...😂

We do not owe migrant workers anything. they can work where ever they want. What's your point BBC?

So does that mean they will employ Brits more? Remainers should apply in Germany and France, I bet they will love being in the EU again.

Oh shit. Let’s stop brexit right now.

Oh No!!!

Knew I should've voted remain

Great. More opportunities for UK young women.

Finger on the pulse again well done 🙄

what about the increase in the number of British people applying to be au pair’s?

Can we have some from the commonwealth or the US ?

No one cares! This doesn’t effect the majority who voted leave any way.

And that is just the tip of the iceberg. The UK youth have been shown too lazy, to want to do the menial jobs, that a lot of Europeans came in n did.

Oh no what will we do?!

Brilliant report from Sky, must be so short on news today. Ha ha

The vast majority of Brits cannot afford Au pairs, so why would this distress them.. hardly cause for concern

'Shortage of au pairs in Oldham and Doncaster swings vote back to Remain'. Thought not. No disrepect to either of these towns - but really how the feck does this become a sotry?

No wonder remainers voted to remain. Who will look after their kids or serve their coffee in Pret?

1st world problems. Here's an idea, take care of them yourself.

wow the elites that can afford (european) au pairs must be absolutely devastated that they may need to employ native British people ;-)

..... this headline sums up perfectly the growing void between the MSM and normal people Why the hell would the average person give a toss about reduced Au Pair numbers? Maybe Spencer and Chantelle will have to look after baby Tarquin themselves

😂😅 🤣How about applicants from the rest of the Big Wide World!

I guess you forgot the 'from EU member countries' bit. There are many European countries that are not EU members. Equal opportunity for au-pairs from across the globe

Plenty of local au pairs ready to work, I’m sure...

Little verruca will be gutted

Of course, what do we expect ? The UK is telling Europeans they are not welcome but the rest of the world is !

This is why we have so much opposition to leaving.........just part of the great class divide in this Country

Oh no! Disaster! 🙄

And I heard feta cheese may become more expensive? The mood in Waitrose will be toxic ;)

No big surprise, given the current climate

That's that then

The irony of leftism attacking a situation that will only affect the rich detrimentally.

Racist Britain. Is there any wonder.....

Hopefully now au pairs in the UK will get a much deserved pay rise for wiping some rich parents kids noise

O no. How will the rich jobless wives who liquid lunch manage? Does it mean they will have to interact with their offspring?

This is terrible news for the upper middle class

My first response was good but I remembered my sister years ago doing a 6 month au pair job in Italy. She had a great experience/learned Italian. It’s a shame that Brexit will make it difficult/expensive for British young people to do the same thing.

Seriously Sky News, your anti Brexit biased reporting is now getting into an utterly pathetic mode. What a really stupid article.

😂😂😂 and you want to be taken seriously ? Is this a parody account now ?

Mass migration and over-crowding seems to be the issue that concerns most people. Anything that eases that will be good. New opportunities will arise; rich elites will need to start paying a decent wage to British people; we'll start seeing more of that 'trickledown' of wealth.

Oh my god! How on earth are we meant to carry on?

Au pairs will now be coming in pairs so that will reduce the number by 50% or increase it by 100% depending on global warming and a shortage of statisticians to work it out, caused by Brexit!

That's gonna hit the upper middle class Remoaner soy-latte-loving metro-luvvies very hard I guess.

Perfect

FFS, whatever next How many people in Britain employ an au pair?

Oh dear what a shame

No au pairs! What are we going to do?

I can’t see this affecting the majority of working class people however

Love childcare news stories. Always a safe bet the majority of people leaving twitter opinions here seem to be male... JustSaying

Maybe employ British au pairs? Oh sorry, that will mean paying the minimum wage!🤬🤬🤬🤬

I'm sure this will soon overtake climate change as the dinner party 'topic of choice' for out Guardianistra friends...

Another reason why the elites want to remain in the EU!! Whatever will they do? Who’s going to look after baby Barclay and Cissy when mummy and daddy go skying

That’s a shame. The wealthy elite will have to employ British nannies instead of cheap foreign slaves to care for their neglected children...

Oh come on. Do you have a special team at sly news who’s job it is is to Trawl the internet for stories to spin with anti Brexit narrative? Why not tell how au pairs are payed 💩 money by the rich. They’re poorly paid baby sitters.

Boooooo!

Our niece in Spain has a Vietnamese au pair.

there too expensive now outside the 🇪🇺 cheaper 👀

Oh no who's going to take care of the kids and there will be no to serve mummy her soya frappé mocha latte in Pret

So what?

This will effect dozens of people.

There’ll be tears flooding primrose hill tonight.

...everything will plummet by 70%...except for a few bank accounts...that will most likely increase by 70%...we’re in the long slow process of being mugged...see you in London in the 19thoct...is that the right date?...

Let’s hope this leads to a rise of au pair’s wages and hopefully leads to families treating them with respect.

And

Great, that means more work for people in the UK. No problem.

First world problems!

Bring up your own fkin kids

Because the salaries are appalling and there's loads of other work available which has leave, 37 hour working week and protected hourly rates. Look after your own kids.

In other news, lazy parents with money have to spend time with their kids

Bollox. You mean I’m going to have to look after my own children? Is that what Ylena wouldn’t answer my WhatsApp?

Who cares

What !!! Surely not oh my god.......... it’s Armageddon. 👋👋👋👋

That’s not because of Brexit it’s because of the uncertainty of Brexit. All this messing about and not being able to stick by the outcome of a vote.

So Brexit is bad because people will have to look after their own kids?

Good..........How about bringing up your own children

Yous will have to clean your own houses or pay the going rate

Oh so thats why all the middleclass elite voted to remain, no more cheap eastern euro nannies, I suppose theyll have to legally employ brit gardners ,window cleaners and car washers, oh dear how horrible it is going to be for them after 31 oct,

Is this Brexit tho, or has word spread on internet au pair forums that Brits are shitty parents?

That’s it then....

Honestly media you’re terrible. Based on your reports we won’t have child care,won’t have defence, farming, health care, police, energy & utilities of any type.What you’re saying is being part of the EU has slowly over the years made us weaker and not self sustaining as a nation?

OMG!! The horror...

No au pairs, and no one to make their latte 😭😭

It’s Sky News that needs needs babysitting

Oh dear the rich will have to bring up their own kids oh no what will happen to these poor children?

Sky news 💩news

And another one ! Every angle possible is being tried to show Brexit as bad idea

Lol

Oh how awful to have children and then expect to pay a foreigner less than the minimum wage to look after them , what’s the world coming to.

Good, more jobs for uk residents 👍🇬🇧

They are like interns, unpaid ?

Haha oh dear! How will we cope!! 😱🤣

UK always can change law to get non eu au pairs to work in the uk. Be plenty of takers

Great news. This can only lead to better parenting and an increase in British jobs.

You will have to take care of your own kids... Such privilege! 🤣🤣🤣

The biggest worry is commission for your company end of !!!

Heavens above people will actually have to look after there own children 🙄

Terrible. Who's going to look after the kids of the ladies who lunch?

Well fuck, I guess the spoiled middle class will have to look after their own kids like the rest of us do

Oh the poor little rich people.

Don't have kids if you don't want to spend time with them.

It’s the end of the middle class as we know it NappyValley ClaphamJunction, the heart of Battersea

How awful. How on earth with the UK’s middle-classes survive without their Au Pairs? First there was the threat of loaing their Pret servers, and now this.

First the affluent were concerned about who would be serving their coffee in Pret and now they are seeing cheap live-in nannies dry up. Brexit is turning out to be the catastrophe they said it would be.

The rich and rude of the UK are traumatised and seeking medical help.

This must create job opportunities for UK workers and couldpush up wages unless of course we import qualified au pairs from the rest of the world.

Damn it...how will I cope..😂

Is this why remainers are so angry? They're going to have to look after their own kids? Oh no, what a disaster.

It’s all very well for Leavers. They won’t be hit by this catastrophe. This is inhuman and seems to target Remainers directly.

Really! I mean really! Is this news? If this is supposed to be part of your contribution to projectfear, it is pretty weak
