[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We pay $10/hr with a minimum of 250/week regardless of schedule. So if au pair works 10 hours she gets $250 but if she works 45 she gets $450.[/quote] i Isn’t the stipend set by the agency? To answer OP, if you are going over 45 hours and doing it as a cash in hand type thing, I would pay her what you would pay a regular sitter. [/quote]

Minimum stipend is set by Department of State. There is no reason not to pay above the minimum which during pandemic has become the new standard. Negotiating stipend etc[/quote]
Okay, we don't pay over stipend. Never have. I don't know why this is the new standard. There are countries issuing visas again. If you want to pay over stipend, that is your choice, but it isn't a new standard.[/quote]

Actually it is. This is one of the results of the lawsuit: au pairs are supposed to negotiate for more pay. [/quote]

The "standard" meaning what a typical family would pay. The vast majority pay $200  a week in the DC area. [/quote]
