[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, we've paid higher than the required stipend for years. We live in an expensive area and expect our au pairs to do a great job. We pay them accordingly. [/quote] Thank you for the response. A few questions. Are you in the DMV? How much higher have you paid? Do you wait to see how they do in the home and then increase it or offer a higher rate at the outset? Is the extra rate for extra work?[/quote] We've paid between $250-300/wk for a few years now. We base it on the number of hours we expect the au pair to work and the state of covid (i.e., if they are locked down we pay more since they are having a crappier experience). We also give a raise if the au pair extends for a 2nd year and a completion bonus for finishing out their full agreed term. [/quote]And yes, we are in the DMV.[/quote]
