Ina addition to travel expenses to/from their home, I paid £90 pw in London plus Oyster card for 20 hours per week, 2 primary age children. No gym membership or other extras. In retrospect, I would have paid more pw and no free Oystercard. If the au pair is staying longer than 6 months, you will need a visa, yes. Good luck, OP.
In exchange for childcare and light housework, an au pair is given a place to stay, food to eat, and some pocket money. Currently, the minimum is $195.75 per week. Au pairs also work fewer hours than nannies. For instance, they can work a maximum of 10 hours per day and 45 hours per week but are entitled to one and a half days off each week.
Paid weekly. $195.75*. $250.00*. $300.00 (for matches starting 9/1/2023) $146.81*. Families living in the state of Massachusetts and California are required to follow local labor laws while hosting an au pair, including the requirement to pay local minimum wage. Additional information is provided to you on your family portal.
An experienced nanny can cost between $350 and $700 a week, plus employer’s tax, social security tax and health insurance. If you decide to sponsor an au pair instead, the costs include a weekly stipend, as well as all of the placement and travel expenses. An au pair can cost about $140 a week, plus $5,000 to $6,000 in expenses.
An au pair ( / oʊˈpɛər /; pl.: au pairs) is a helper from a foreign country working for, and living as part of, a host family. Typically, au pairs take on a share of the family's responsibility for child care as well as some housework, and receive a monetary allowance or stipend for personal use.
