[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We matched recently with a home country au pair offering nothing extra in terms of signing bonus or extra money. We have 3 kids home school and follow cdc covid-19 rules ( tight).  We had to expand our country of origin and look into different agencies to find someone.  Keep looking, good luck!!![/quote]

This is great advice.  We are finding the home country candidates to be far less entitled about COVID rules than the rematch and extension pool.[/quote]

Well, that makes sense since girls from out of country have no idea what it will be like to be locked in with her employer, what it will be like not to see friends, etc.

Trust me, when they get here, they won't be happy.  But good luck anyway.[/quote]

I agree with that, I think getting a an out of country AP right now when you have very tight COVID rules and no perks is a recipe for disaster and likely to lead to a quick rematch.

I also think it’s fair for APs to expect extra compensations for working in a much more difficult environment than what they initially signed up for and for giving up on the freedom to do what they want in their free time and be monitored.[/quote]

A lot of APs are coming from countries that are just much smarter about covid than we are.  I’ve heard comments about how dumb and selfish some American families are. [/quote]
