[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We always pay the standard stipend their first year.  Second year we increase it to $250 per week and it is really appreciated by the au pairs.  That last year is when they are saving for their post-au pair life or for the trips they'd like to take.  We are happy to do it for our second year APs.  Some of you are pretty cheap.[/quote]

Eh, I try not to be judgy. We always get extraordinaire where the stipend is already $250, she also has a dedicated car with all gas covered, and a cell phone with the best plan possible. We have taken our APs all over the world, where they always have separate bedrooms. Giving an AP the best exchange year (or years) possible is not cheap - and for us, having an AP is around 40k - that's not cheap for most young families with children.  :roll: [/quote]

$1K a month isn't very generous.  You choosing to travel and take them is so you have child care.  That's not a vacation.  They live with you because its easiest for you and cheapest for you.[/quote]

Funny. Having an AP is more expensive than daycare or an a nanny share - so not actually cheap care for most people (on like your priviledged self, whoops  :oops: ). [/quote]
