[quote=Anonymous]Your au pair deserves a lecture that comparing perks will only make her unhappy. How many kids do those other families have? How many hours? Does the host family cook/order takeout and include their au pair (some don't and give a grocery stipend)? Where do they live? Etc. Just say no. She will receive raises, bonuses, gifts based on great performance. Not because she's pressuring you based on "all" of these other host families (which is obviously a gross exaggeration). You follow the agency rules of what you're required to do plus (insert any perks like access to a car) that are not actually required. Do not think of extending unless this is a one-time ask. You'll open the floodgates to many more comparisons and pressure for the extension year. Then stay away from the countries where this kind of coaching tends to be rampant.[/quote]
