Cuevas, left, helps Yvette Roepstorff, a fashion agent, make dinner at the Roepstorff home in the affluent suburb of Klampenbourg, where Cuevas works as an au pair, just north of Copenhagen, Denmark, May 21, 2016. Cuevas is the family's tenth au pair and will likely be the last. With new paperwork costs, insurance and monthly pay, the costs are far more then when the family hired their first au pair. "Also, my teenage daughter needs to learn the value of cleaning her own room," says Roepstorff. "For her, the party will soon be over." Image by Allison Shelley. Denmark, 2016.")
