[quote=Anonymous]If a great Au pair stays with us the full 2 years, we give a 1k cash bonus.

I would have a conversation with her about what she’s planning to do after her time ends, and talk to her (high level) about considering how much savings she’ll need to ensure that  she has a great start at the end of the program. I’d give her a bit less for her Christmas stipend (perhaps $100/$150 rather than the typical $250), and instead increase our end of program payout that we plan to give her.

Our Au pairs have been Fantastic, so we always have multiple conversations in their last 6-9 months talking about their future and how we can help assist (editing their resume, them potentially doing a free / volunteer ‘internship’ to get additional career related experience (during their free time while the kids are in school, etc). Please keep in mind all of our Au pairs have been 24-27, which also is a factor.

Our Au pairs have all done great after the program. We are really proud and excited about what they’ve been able to do post their time with our family.[/quote]
