[quote=Anonymous]Stipends are not changing. The only thing that is changing is that the agencies now have to tell prospective au pairs that they have the right to negotiate for higher wages. Federal rules allow you to deduct 40% for room and board. We have an au pair as do many families in our neighborhood. We and they are not planning on increasing the weekly stipend. We are in high-rent areas so the lodging is already a big expense. We provide cell phone pre-paid plan, gym membership, subsidize some trips back home, allow use of car for personal stuff, and offer lots of vacation time. So we don't feel a need to increase the stipend unless we were to stop offering all of these extra perks.[/quote]
