[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From experience - I would be really careful not to try to attract with too many perks. I have managed to find a rematch AP with no added perks other than some extra time off and a schedule that doesn't include weekends. I am also allowing her to have one friend over into the house because I recognize it is very hard to be locked down in a country away from home. 
I find that the girls attracted to perks are quick to rematch and not really willing to do the work.

And I do pay the AP more in the end.. I just don't advertise it and instead focus on making sure they understand they will be treated well.  [/quote]

Exactly! One of our APs would hang out with her AP friends and they would criticize our house since it was not a mcmansion.   Surprise! She was also a less than average au pair. I do feel like the rematch/extension pool right now is all about the perks. And travelling.  And sleeping over at their boyfriends. And flying to Florida. No thank you.  Life is hard enough right now.

It is all about actually having a cultural exchange.  Got it.[/quote]
