[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again. In addition to the pay, we pay for her phone, insurance, and has access to our car. We also have her on the Uber family plan so she can go wherever she wants.

We pay for all her food, and of course cover room and board. She can work up to 45 hours per week as per the program, but has never even worked 40 hours per week with us.

So, the $200/week is play money for her.[/quote]
Just say no and ask for a rematch. She’s not a guest. But she’s acting like one. Lift a finger. Better go home. Covid is not the time for a cultural exchange. [/quote]

Au pair Program IS a cultural exchange, Ivanka. Soon we’ll have laws that will make your sort of nonsense illegal — read the papers you signed, you have made commitments too. Meanwhile, the young lady can go to MA. Plenty of demand! [/quote]
Dumbo she signed an agreement also. Not to be a paid house guest. She can easily relocate to MA if anyone wants an au pair who does nothing but wants more pay. [/quote]

Weak sauce. No uniform figures in derision on our side, huh? Dumbo is the best you got? I could list yours for pages. Anyway, either it’s a cultural exchange or a domestic worker. If it’s a cultural exchange you have to treat fairly and do all these other things, if it’s a domestic worker you have to treat fairly and pay more and can’t deduct expenses. Which is it? Days of state-sponsored modern-day abuse of the program by people who are not suited to it and can’t afford it are over![/quote]
