[quote=Anonymous]I was devastated when my au pair of 2 years left us in March. I made a quick picture / memory book for her, and gave her 1000. We do not pay above the stipend amount (other than of course rounding to $200), and felt that she deserved that amount (and more!) for all the ways that she supported my boys over the last two years (the awful period when my son was refusing to poop in the potty and pooping on himself, tantrums, new school transitions, illnesses, snow days) really the list goes on and on. We talk every other week, and she knows that she will always have a place to call home in America. I did the standard welcome basket for my incoming au pair. Two big regrets that I have ... having too long of an overlap with my old au pair and my new au pair, and not realizing how hard it would be to transition to someone new :/[/quote]
