[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have an extraordinaire, very busy work travel schedule (all those extra rooms add up). [/quote]

Your work and travel schedules as well as your living arrangements are not your AP's problem but your choice.
You cannot count your choices against what your AP cost you. If you decide to buy a $125,000 Porsche and let your AP drive it you can't claim your AP cost $150,000 a year.[/quote]

Not really true - it’s more expensive to bring an au pair on travel than to hire local care - but the travel is a perk to the au pair, so yes, absolutely can count in tabulation of cost of au pair. [/quote]

How is the travel a perk? Did the AP get to chose the location? Does she not have to take care of the kids while there? Isn’t she working? [/quote]

In the past year we have taken our au pair to Hawaii, Italy, Japan, etc. We gave the au pair the chance to stay home or come with. In our interview process, we explained that travel was one of the perks of working with our family . I have to travel a lot for my job. Sometimes it's stressful, but I would never say it's not a perk.[/quote]
