Stipend Increase

Effective July 24th, the weekly stipend for au pairs will increase to $176.85. Since this falls in the middle of the week it is recommended that all au pairs will be paid at the new rate for the entire week of July 20th.

As a reminder, no money should be taken out of an au pairs weekly stipend to "pay back" the host family for expenses. Those should be paid by the au pair back to the HF, preferably with a check. Au pairs should not be paying host families for food, gas for the job, or the first $500 of their education requirement. If you have questions about what the au pair can pay for, and what a host family should pay for, please let me know!
