[quote=Anonymous]Another post from a local family to back up the thinking that page 1 folk are deluded; and to show that MA laws in DMV would not mean the end of the program in the slightest (to the contrary, it would mean better families with more commitment to what the program is meant to be):

The pool is SCARCE. We normally do not advertise this, but did this time. We offered $12/hr. We also have many nice perks- pool house as her apartment, dedicated car, in home gym, 4 weeks off per year ( 2 her choosing, 2 ours), and all federal holidays off. We had AuPairs willing to leave their current families literally immediately, but skipped then due to integrity issues. After weeding through at least 100 interested candidates we had 5 very solid candidates to interview and picked one that seemed absolutely excellent.

We normally pay minimum wage (we are in Virginia) and treat the stipend ad a minimum and never advertise that. However after trying without advertising this, we upped the amount to 12 and got a very different pool of candidates.

During this quarantine we just need a really competent AuPair. Solid English skills and someone who can help them navigate their school work in case they don't go back in the fall. We needed one who had a glowing reference from her family in that regard.
