Good break down. I know most au pairs here are in EU, so Graham gives the right breakdown. In the USA it is government regulated and au pairs must make at least $195.75 usd however USA au pairs work up to 45 hours a week which is more hours than most EU au pairs work. Great points on the other perks, school, food, board, phone coverage and more. And if you really become family, then your host family will want to make you as happy as possible!
