[quote=Anonymous]We have one toddler, and have had two au pairs. For each AP, we have provided the same fixed schedule, advertised during matching: M-TH, 7:30-4:30, and F 7:30-2:30. All federal holidays are work days. We allow certain religious holidays off without counting against vacation time. Otherwise, it's a lot of hours, with a rigid schedule. We provide a dedicated car and pay for all gas, and basically buy whatever foods she wants, even pricey imported stuff. But that's it - no ski lodge, no beach house. We travel a lot for work and vacation - and bring AP and toddler with, but she works vacations. It's not an easy gig. And we only have extraordinaires - and pay their minimum which is $250/week. We have never had problem matching, but we seek out older APs. Many families with toddlers max out or get close to it with hours. As long as you are up front during matching, what's the problem?[/quote]
