Navigating childcare etiquette in different cultures

I’ve been an au pair for a few months now, and it’s fascinating how different families approach childcare. For instance, my host family here in the U.S. values independence quite highly, while my friend in France says her host kids are more dependent on their parents. Has anyone else noticed these cultural differences? How do you adjust your approach?
