[quote=Anonymous]You’re all missing a couple of huge points about the au pair program. One, young people are signing up by the droves to participate, and they know the stipend amount and work requirements. No one is forcing them and they choose the families they live with, they aren’t assigned to them. They can always say no, and if things are not a good fit, they can always rematch. Two, in most situations, au pairs don’t pay ANY of their living expenses. Their STIPEND, not salary, is either “fun money”, or or cases where they’re saving or sending money home, @$200/week for them to save or give their families. In families where that money is needed, $200/week goes a long way. Signed, former au pair, now long-term host parent who has seen both sides[/quote]
