[quote=Anonymous]Our au pair has been with us 4 months and we like her.  She works about 30 hours each week, mostly before/after school, watching our children ages 6, 9 and 11.   We pay her weekly stipend of $195.75 by automatic bank transfer.  She recently asked me to round her her weekly stipend to $200, saying it would "help with her calculations."

Do folks do this?    I have to say, I am surprised she asked.   It's not about the money, obviously.   She has occasionally asked for things that I think are inappropriate (like if her boyfriend could come visit from her home country and stay with us for a week while she was working - NO!).   We are generous with her, buying food she requests, paying her entire education course (about $100 over the required $500 spend) and the like.   She has also requested certain days off to travel. above and beyond the required two weeks vacation, which we have generally granted.

What would you do?    I suppose I just don't like being asked, but that sounds petty!   [/quote]
