[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, as a fellow host mom the dynamics have changed a lot and many au pairs - now scarce and in demand - are understandably leveraging the new dynamic. That said, I think if you can afford to pay her more, do so, make her show you she is stepping it up. I think the PP at 5:55 is spot on, but I would phrase it more positively. [/quote] I am not sure how much of the dynamic is there to leverage because their choices are rematch or go home. [/quote] And actually, we were her rematch for her second year. She wanted to stay in the US. Her first host family was in CT. Her second year she went to CA but then got upset with the host family. She was with them for like two weeks in CA. We were kind of a last resort for her. She actually had several friends from the au pair world in the DMV already.[/quote]
