[quote=Anonymous]About 20k cash + Room & Board. Have had 7 via Au Pair in America and Cultural Care. Both programs charge ~10k upfront, and stipend is $196/week x 52 weeks. Add car insurance (surprised USAA bill was $200/yr more to add her to our oldish minivan). We have had a wonderful experience - ours have been from Germany, New Zealand, S Africa, and Brazil. Early on we took them with us on vacations, later on we opted not to. Just be very clear and upfront in the Family Handbook about duties/expectations. Screen for attitude, train for success. We got pretty highly motivated, university-bound APs who had good executive function and motivation. The downside is they would leave after 1 year for uni, and you're retraining every year. [/quote]
