[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also this makes the person saying their au pair costs them
$30k per year insane. Unless they’re handing out gold bars.[/quote]
This is only because you don't understand the program and ignore posts by anyone who tries to explain how it works.  As I've said previously, posting nonsense prolifically (and then prolifically patting yourself on the back for your nonsense) doesn't make you correct.  [/quote]

Why don’t you explain it? If you’d like to advance an argument, provide some facts instead of repeating yourself and lashing out at other women. Not a good look. Also, maybe explain to the federal judge and a couple senators who reviewed the situation and came to the same conclusions about corrupting of the program.[/quote]

DP. Even at the very minimum 200/wk that is about $10,500. We pay about $15k or so as were above stipend. Program / agency fee / required education credit fees = about another $10k. That covers visa costs, health insurance they get through agency, etc. Most people allow their au pairs to drive so they are added to insurance. That cost an extra $1500 per year for us, not including any additional car costs (hello car accidents...). We gave $500 for Christmas plus other gifts, $500 for birthday, and $500 for second year bonus. We had intended to pay for a RT ticket home between first and second year but covid shut that down - we’ll pay for that when we’re able. Will probably give a couple thousand bonus before her travel month. Food is also obviously an extra cost that I don’t add in but it is an extra person and we often host her friends for dinner. We took her with us on vacation so plane ticket (did girls day with lunch and spa we obviously paid for). We go to events that we invite her or her friends to join and we cover all costs. I mean none of it is huge costs but it adds up so I could easily see how someone gets to $30k. We’re probably there as well.
