[quote=Anonymous]So first thing- we were told the AP could NOT leave the country.  So I think that eliminates international travel being a problem. They do still need to be paid while you're out of the country though.

As to in country non-local travel- that's really up to you and the au pair.  Some want to come with and some don't (they may prefer to use that time to do their own trips to places they want to see and experience).

As for paying for them- I was told that if they're not working AT ALL during the vacation, you don't technically have to pay for it (how that works out, socially speaking I think is not great tho). BUT if they work at all, even for an evening, my understanding is you have to pay for the trip, including travel, hotel accomodations, and potentially passes into the events (which can really add up).

We had planned on taking a trip with our AP (Pre-Covid) and knew it would NOT be a working trip for them, but offered to pay for her travel (flight), hotel (we had a 2 room suite, so she had 1 room we had the other), and entry tickets to the events. We did say, any additional food/ events we weren't doing, she'd have to cover on her own.

I will also note- an unforseen expense- if you're renting a car, bringing an AP usually means needing a Minivan which doubled our rental car budget. [/quote]
