[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely no issues matching with our preferred Northern Europeans. I actually feel like we are in the drivers seat. We have APs chasing us around after interviews. Here is our profile:

2 school aged kids
Treat stipend as a minimum and pay fed minimum wage if over 27.5hrs
Dedicated car[b]
Live in Ashburn [/b]
Fed holidays off
3 weeks in summer off
1 week Christmas off
Spring break off
Basement suite
Smartphone
Membership at lifetime fitness.

I realize our package is desirable and outside the norm. However, I want a great AP who values her job and wants to keep it. I want my pick of AuPairs and dont want to settle. I don't want drama. I want a very solid driver. We so far have had great luck and have truly had girls who value their jobs. They all know exactly how other APs are treated to the bare minimum and know via social media that our gig is a good one.[/quote]

Um, WHY would that be an incentive? Ew. Sorry, but it is so far from...everything. That said, we offer the same, and I pay another $100 b/c our child has SN and can be difficult. [/quote]

Oh, and we live in Bethesda and are white. No rejections even with SN child.[/quote]

Wow really? NO straight rejections? I posted upthread. We are a nonwhite family. Our job is:

20-25 hrs/week split schedule 
Two kids but AP only responsible for older child
Available car
AP suite with bathroom
Pay minimum wage 
I speak German 
Live close to amenities (and not Ashburn lol)
No weekends, all federal holidays off, AP picks all vacation days

We got, literally, dozens of rejections without an interview. Several months of rejections.
