[quote=Anonymous][quote] Most au pairs do not get $4/hour. My AP works less than 20 hours a week, so it's more like $10/hour...plus room and board...plus gas...plus car insurance...plus all the extras. I have an AP because I have an only child and I love her having a "big sister" around, and believe it or not, I also like the cultural exchange. [/quote] Most Au pairs get 4$ per hour, have to pay for their food, phone since it's only for work usage, work 45h a week because job for hosts in DC/suburbs starts at 7-9 am till 3-5 pm (up to 40 h a week)+ commute time (around 30 minutes to 1h) they have montage 350.000 up to 450.000, 2 cars probably one on loan, the other one for the Au pair but is broken or in use, loan on school for kids, pet that needs to be walked out-yes the Au pair walks it out.On weekends they run shopping for half a day, have meeting at school, driving to the park 2 h out the city to walk there for hour. They have Au pair since their kid was an infant-always had Au pair in a house. These people probably are f****** tired that in their 40s have to share house with some foreigner because no one wants to do 'that job' and is so elastic/naive as an Au pair. Also that is why Au pair works when hosts have holidays-they want to be alone. I would believe in cultural idea if hosts wouldn't have loan on a house. In this case yes.[/quote]
