[quote=Anonymous]There have been numerous discussions about this both here and on aupairmom. Some people do it because it's not a big deal and others don't. Of those who don't, some take the money and give it as a bonus, with the thought that APs will much more appreciate they money in one lump sum of $215+ than they do the extra 4.25 per week, which no one will really notice. We have done a whole host of different things over the years. When we paid by check, I definitely felt the pressure to round up because it felt funny each week not to. Now that we pay by auto transfer, I have either rounded to 196 (last year) or 200 (this year). We do $200 for Christmas, birthday, and departure as well, but I will say that now that I am rounding, I am less likely to do the 20-25 gift cards than I used to be last year. I would definitely be put off by an AP asking about this, I have to say![/quote]
