[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need some more details: What is current pay? How much more is she asking for? What does she say her reason is for asking for more? [/quote] Current pay is $200/week. I think the au pair agency requires a $195/week. She didn't specify how much more - just that she wanted more. I told her I would think about it. I think she's asking because she thinks we are well off and can afford it. I was initially confused by this request because she's only been with us for 3 months. She's average at best. My first thought was that I could use this to leverage getting her to do some things - such as play or interact with the kids (this rarely happens), do their laundry, and keep the kitchen and family room tidy. Right now, none of those things happen.[/quote] If she’s not playing or interacting with your kids, maybe you should just consider a new au pair. She sounds kind of awful. [/quote]
