[quote=Anonymous]OP- You are sort of stuck since you are paying already.

A metro card is understandable since you don't offer a car.

Unlimited Uber budget is not reasonable. Can she connect her Uber account to a bank account? If so, I would add $x per week to her stipend to cover transportation. If she goes over, she can use the bus or call a friend.

(I would not base your budget on how much other HPs are spending on cars. Some have a dedicated car and pay all expenses. Someone quoted $2500 in insurance, while we only pay $600, it's not apples to apples.)

I also found that when in doubt, bring your au pair in the discussion. You want to be generous, but you want to be fair. Tell her you are new to this, and you realize you need to have a budget for Uber. Ask her to think about what would be a fair amount for you to contribute. Ask her to inquire with other APs what type of transportation is offered by their host families. A smart au pair will come up with a reasonable figure.[/quote]
