[quote=Anonymous]For us, we would use all 45 au pair hours pre or post pandemic ( two full time physician household) so for us, the environment is not any more difficult pre or post, salary will stay three expected amount.  Normal perks with bonuses earned, not entitled.  Covid rules that follow science, so yes, go out and walk, see your friends outside with masks on.  I don't think this is a recipe for distaster.  Our current au pair has been with us for 1 year no problem even in all this covid crap.  I think just finding the right match and maturity level.  Not some entitled young woman looking to travel the world to find herself in a gap year, but someone who wants to come to the US for the cultural experience and with set goals of what they are going to gain out if this ( our new match is going to get her master's in language and work in tourism in her home country, her motivation is to gain better English not to travel the US in a pandemic).  If I was going to pay way above price and offer these crazy sign on perks and leaving bonuses, I'd hire a domestic nanny with actual experience who doesn't have to live with us. I enjoy the cultural exchange and flexible affordable care the au pairs can offer and I'm turn think we are a very kind family that can attract candidates without having to flash gold at people.[/quote]
