[quote=Anonymous]AP here and while I think 200$ a month is too expensive, I think letting her use the car for 50$ the one weekend she chooses to go and capping the amount of times she can go there with your car to 1 weekend a month only, is preferable. I would make sure she knows she is welcome to use the car within specific mileage (50 miles radius?) the rest of the time but if she wants to go more often she should rent a car or arrange for her family member/boyfriend/friend to pick her up and drop her off.

I couldn’t imagine borrowing my host family car to go over 110 miles every two weeks. Though I know a few Au pairs who have no limits and can travel across the US with their host family’s car.

Cause once she is there she probably go explore and use your car some more and I think she is being bit cheeky expecting to be given free use of the car long-distance for a while.

She could rematch but might not find a family in MA (or close to her bf/family member), will be paid less, might work more and likely won’t have a car to drive hundreds of miles every 2 weeks either so... Would proceed as I said and let her rematch. Plenty of APs keen to move to MA right now and be paid $270 For 27 hours. I am in California and earn barely more than that for 45hours and if my family wasn’t amazing I would absolutely be interested in moving to MA with the deal you seem to offer (and I am someone who has been several times AP and therefore sought after), I usually say it when I think HFS are being unreasonable but I think what you request is perfectly fine.

Whether you want to change the rules about the car and be more relaxed due to Covid is up to you but if you let her sleep over there I assume it doesn’t worry you much anyway so I wouldn’t.
