[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just getting into the interviewing process and got warned that au pairs may try and negotiate a higher rate. Have others encountered this?[/quote] We never negotiated. If they wanted above stipend, we moved on to the next applicant. Before arrival, you have no way of knowing if their experience is real experience or hyped up resume experience by the recruiter in their home country (who gets paid commission for every aupair which is matched). If the aupair arrives and is amazing, then we talk about a higher stipend to keep the aupair from moving on. Don't get wrapped up in the 'shoulds' and 'typical/common/customary' talk by aupairs and the coordinators. If it isn't in writing and policy, it's all heresay.[/quote]
