Having an au pair puts one firmly above the middle-class. Not necessarily rich, but certainly flirting with "affluent."

- ghaff 5y agoRightly or wrongly, a lot of people in the US consider middle class to be anything between barely putting food on the table and flying around in private jets. It's probably fair that people hiring au pairs/nannies are on at least the upper range of middle class income but that doesn't make them "rich" in typical American parlance.
