HOW DO YOU CHARGE?
We believe we have a fair charging structure. The fee you pay depends on: (a) the number of hours the Au Pair will do (e.g. type of Au Pair) and (b) the length of the placement of the Au Pair (e.g. 3 months, 6 months, etc). The more hours and the longer the placement, the higher the fee. Conversely, a short placement with fewer hours (such as a Summer Au Pair), costs considerably less.
The Au Pair categories are as follows:
Au Pair Placement lengths are as follows:
Extra Skills - Price Variations
Lastly, we charge a small increase if the placed Au Pair either can drive (e.g. has been placed with the explicit task of driving being required) or has higher spoken English language skills. Conversely, if lower skills are required, there is a smaller premium, and a discount if the candidate is not required to drive, or has the most basic spoken English language skills.
Rainbow classifies Spoken English Levels of candidates as High, Medium and Low. The level is agreed by Rainbow Au Pairs and its partner agencies, based on a formal and informal assessment, as part of the interview process.
