[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in MA and this is apparently effective for us as of yesterday. So says CCAP. [/quote]

How much do you get to deduct for room, board, phone, personal gas, etc.?[/quote]

NP. I am sure CCAP didn't send much details beside "this applies to you". They are just covering their ass.

With that said, minimum wage will totally be fine if the agencies were not charging us almost 10k fees.
I think the bigger losers here will be the agencies and the au pairs.
Families will give up the flexibilities of APs and do after care nannies, or after care programs, flex schedule or whatever other people do.

Also the DoS should probably review the au pair program rules in this case: 
No more Educational component required, 
no more 1.5 days off, 
family only pays for the time they use. 
Room and board deduction. 
Family should Not need to provide food etc.

It will take time to trickle down to other states but if this happens that is probably the end of it.
In most countries, families only pays max $1000 agency fees and pay APs the minimum wage. This makes sense to me![/quote]
