[quote=Anonymous]We are in Canada and have this arrangement with a university student. We don't have a separate apartment so just offered $300 a week net for 30 hours, which is a bit more than we would have had to pay for a European au pair with similar hours or a full-time live-in nanny from overseas. We pay on the books and give two weeks paid holidays, plus sick days, and full room and board. She does the morning routine and school drop off, and then after school pick up, homework etc and help with dinner. Only child-related tasks, i.e. make lunch to eat at school, help keep their rooms organised, put away laundry, that kind of thing. It can be hard having another person in the house, and I work from home, which I think is a strain on her sometimes, especially if the kids are acting up and trying to get my attention, but she does often go away for the weekend, which gives us all a little break from each other. I wish we had a separate apartment for her but our place just isn't big enough.[/quote]
