[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And entertainment only means the entertainment that includes the entire family - like going to the movies.  I'm not paying for an aupair's happy hour tab.

Who would host an aupair if food, clothing, tuition and entertainment was part of the cost? Why wouldn't you just hire a nanny at that point. It would be considerably cheaper.

Ah, but you are getting 45 child care hours for half minimum wage.[/quote]

And they are getting free room and board, free meals, free use of car, free phone, free Internet, free cable.[/quote]

It depends on the family.   Not all provide cars, phone, cable and some are limited on food and meals vv[/quote]

The room and board, phone, insurance, and food are part of the au pair contract (well, the contract between you and the agency). The car admittedly is not included. I'm assuming that families will let the au pair use the internet and watch TV without charging them.[/quote]
