Is it common for families to pay for a Southeast Asian au pairs airtickets???
Me and my husband are foreign expatriates in England. I started looking for a SE Asian aupair as I need an aupair for 1 to 4 months to help babysit my 2 older girls during the months after my 3rd baby is born (my mum couldnt come help this time) and Id feel more comfortable with one (Im from Singapore).
2 of the 3 aupairs I approached asked me if I could at least pay half of the airfare. Im just wondering... is this standard or common procedure?? They all put "UK" as one of their preferred countries. I was always under the impression that aupairs have to bear their own travel costs - as they are not exactly house maids?? In Singapore, people commonly hire Filipino maids and in that case they do pay for their airtickets. But Im not even asking the aupair to do much housework apart from vacuuming the house once a week and washing one load of dishes a day (we go through 3 loads normally per day). So really, Im thinking its not really justified to pay for the tickets???
yes but if thats the case, why would the British law for aupairs state that they must be able to maintain and accomodate all of their expenses ??
Okay... I just spoke to 2 aupair companies about this. They both said I should not be paying for the aupairs airtickets??
yes I really think an aupair should pay for the airtickets, as shes not technically a maid - shes on a semi-holiday because she wants to experience living in a foreign country and improve her language skills. With her lodging and food paid for, I dont see why she should still want her airfare paid for. By the way, I was an aupair once when I was 17 and I paid for my own airfare AND my course fees for the language course I was attending whilst being an aupair. So really, I think many people these days seem to have a misconception about aupairs as being cheap maids/nannies. They are not and they should not be - they are more like exchange students.
backpacknepal, youre malaysian and you are jealous of singaporeans cos being malaysian, you can never get in there to get rich, so get over it. by the way, are you trying to say ill exploit the aupair? how presumptous. you know i met a malaysian aupair whos just like you. first email she sent she talked ALL about money and what SHE wants. if anything, many malaysians have such a bad reputation overseas cos they are out to make a quick buck and they are notorious for trying to settle in rich countries illegally by first going in as a working holiday maker/student and then after their visas expire they will keep quiet about it and try to stay in the rich country forever. if you love malaysia so much, go live in it. why are you abroad???
if anything i have a suspicion that all those who replied to my post who insists families must pay for aupairs are either one of those aupairs who demand their airfare paid, or they are one of those families who didnt know the law and paid for the aupairs ticket without realising they shouldnt have, or they are one of those families who intend to hire aupairs as cheap maids/nannies and really exploit them - i.e. making them work more than 5 hours a day, not giving the aupairs a day off once a week, that sort. You bunch are sleazy. I already did my homework. The British law clearly states, aupairs MUST PAY THEIR OWN EXPENSES, AND THAT INCLUDES AIRFARE. And if you are not from a country recognised by UK as an aupair country - i.e. you are not from the EU - then you have to apply for Working Holiday Visa and in that case, the law states you MUST PAY ALL YOUR EXPENSES, INCLUDING TRAVELLING EXPENSES TOO!! So if anyones reading this, dont be misled by those people who say different.
If you dont believe me, go check out the website for the British Home Offices Border & Immigration Agencys website about the eligibility requirements of an aupair here :

And you can check out the British Home Offices Border & Immigration Agencys website on the eligibility requirements of someone applying for a Working Holidaymakers visa here :
http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/workingholidaymakers/applying/
So whatever other people are saying about how they "think" families should pay for aupairs and stuff, stuff them. They either dont have a clue, or they are just part of that "lets f*** the law and do things our way so that we can exploit our employees/employers" squad.
Answer: When I went as an Au-pair from Mexico to Germany that was the one thing I had to pay myself. Plane tickets. Every other expense was paid by the family.
