[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have always paid over stipend. But the idea that au pairs are underpaid does make me chuckle a little. Every au pair I’ve ever had has sent giant boxes of clothes and shoes home. Our most recent au pair is leaving today and is shipping home a 100 lb box of crap she bought. These girls typically have no bills at all, so it’s all fun money.

And the idea that they’re poor exploited young women just doesn’t map onto reality. I’ve never personally known an au pair who sends a dime home. They just blow it. [/quote]

That’s the whole point. It doesn’t matter to the legislators whether or not they are (some are), but they are setting the rules for all. These rules are meant to be fair and equitable in reference to all except to what you are now used to through the years of thus area being neglected. That should also be easier for you, since the new rules will be universal and remove variance from the process. [/quote]

First of all, it's very easy to pay a higher stipend, so, no, it won't be easier.

Second, this would be terrible for me, since I would lose my competitive advantage. Unless you have a plan to "remove variance" and make things "fair and equitable" in matching for nonwhite families. [/quote]
