[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I asked on another thread but no one responded so I figured that I would start a new thread :).

How much of a weekly bonus are you guys giving your au pair while the kids are at home?

We already pay a little higher than the stipend, but I was thinking of adding $50 more per week. Her hours have not changed much since she my husband and I are both WFH, but not instead of a morning/afternoon split schedule, she is working 51/2 hours straight with the kids (about 10:30-4).

Still, it’s a lot, and we are extremely grateful to have her here to help.[/quote]

Is she working weekends AT ALL?

I'd pay $10/hr.

We just let our AP go (shes a disaster), but if we had a good AP, I would pay that.[/quote]

No, she is not working weekends. With the hours that she is working and the extra bonus on top of the additional stipend that she gets, it comes out to about $10, that doesn’t include her special food, the Gym membership, etc.

My kids really enjoy her, so I’m happy to have another adult to help keep them entertained while we are taking conference calls (so my point about the gym, her grocery lists etc are not a complaint, just a view in to the package that we offer).[/quote]
