[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With no new au pairs coming into the country, they have the upper hand right now. [/quote] New aupairs are arriving now. Ours arrived a week ago. Glad we didn’t fall for the “aupairs have the upper hand” crap. For like 2 months there was a swing in demand. Next time people should hire a babysitting and bridge the gap instead of throwing money at a young aupair who doesn’t even play with the children she watches. OP, don’t pay more. Let her ask for more money and explain she needs to tell you how much and why. $200-$250 a week is normal for aupairs in this area. If she can’t figure out more of a reason to why she deserves a raise than “my friends in my WhatsApp group told me to push you into more stipend.” Than she doesn’t deserve it. Keep your money and hire a professional nanny or cheap babysitter. Both would be better. [/quote] Really? I thought it was a cultural exchange you were in it for, or no? [/quote]
