Question: how much do au pairs cost?
Answer: In Ontario, for example, weekly costs for room and board are calculated at 85.25 CAD. Currently the general minimum wage in Ontario is approx. 14 CAD, so if the au pair works 30 hours, he or she will receive 420 CAD (pocket money) - 85.25 CAD (room and board) = 334.75 CAD per week.
