Brazil Beach Girl

How much "spending money" do you give your international au pairs in Virginia Beach, VA area?

I am interested in some au pairs from Brazil, Philippines or another latin country. I will have them watch 2 girls for about 30 hours a week and some household chairs (kids laundry, dishes and basic stuff they can do while watching the girls). I saw some stuff on the site and it said 600 a week and i think that seems really high as i could pay less for a local person who wasnt receiving room/board. I was an au pair in Spain about 10 years ago and got 60 euros a week. Anyone have an au pair who can chime in on this? I am not talking about a "nanny" that is different a professional position. An au pair is more a part of a cultural exchange. It is good because it will be enriching to both the au pair and my children. To the jerk who said to raise my own kids - i do. So, please go be a waste of time on someone else's page. Life is difficult enough without people like yo trying to spread crappy, unfounded hateful judgmental garbage around the planet.

2. Hi, You go through a company, such as au pair in america or au pair care, and you pay them (not sure how much) which includes the au pair and her flights, board and food, and towards her college courses to be undertaken whilst she is with you. She can work for you for up to 45 hours per week and usually stays a year. She also gets paid about $180 per week, which isn't much, but her board and food etc is paid for. You can request country, language spoken, hobbies, age, driving ability etc Good luck, it is a great thing
