[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kind of off topic from your post but the last family I nannies for got an AP after I left. She was only 19 and would take their alcohol before a night out and then dump it in dumpster upon her return. My family was furious that she was taking it without asking and not 21. She lasted 2 months because she was more interested than drinking and partying more than childcare! I think they paid around $8,000 for her services. (Flight, phone, car, agency fee, etc) yikes!

They paid more than that.  The agency fees are about $7500/8000.  Then there is a weekly stipend to the au pair which is a bit over $10,000 per year.  Then there is phone, car insurance, food, whatever extra costs go into having an extra adult living in your home.  Au pair also does not pay rent - value of her room is part of her pay.  Not sure if you were making a "you get what you pay for" comment right there, upset that the family got an AP instead of continuing with your services.  Likely an au pair cost less than a typical nanny salary (especially if they were going from one child to two), but not all that much cheaper.  And APs only work 45 hours per week - nannies generally work longer hours.  But anyway - that was just one AP; not indicative of all APs' potential behavior. [/quote]

So AP's earn a stipend of about $192./week for their 45hrs of work? Is that taxed, or not?[/quote]
