[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$200 a week is all people pay full time au pairs? [/quote]

Plus room, board, a phone and often a car.

How much did you have left over at the end of the month when all these were paid for when you were 20?[/quote]

It’s basically indentured servitude. In the past, it was somewhat justified as a cultural exchange (although never really was), but that’s completely impossible during COVID. So I bet this au pair is doing more work than ever. No wonder she wants (and deserves) a raise! Yet this cheap-o think she’s generous because she’s exceeding the program minimum by $5?! I hope she walks and leaves your a$$. A better family will pick her up in a second. Disgusting people. [/quote]

Have you had an au pair?  If you are a good family these girls have it great.  The work they do isn't all that hard, in many cases just dropping off and picking up kids.  They spend lots of their weekends with other girls they meet from their home countries.  It's a balance when done right, and $195.75 or so a week is plenty for them.[/quote]
