[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha!  This could be awesome!  APs can find apartment, pay for their own food, utilities, education, phone, etc.   I will pay 2x minimum![/quote]

For that, you could hire a great nanny. That would be $25/hr at DC minimum wage, and $24/hr in Montgomery, Co. You can hire an excellent live-in or live-out nanny for less than that. [/quote]

It's true-  if we needed fulltime.  But as we keep saying, us moms CAN'T FIND ANYONE TO WORK OUR SPLIT SHIFTS!  I advertised on care.com this fall for three months - 25-30/hr, but split shift needed (6:10-7:10 and 2-6:30).  Not one taker who could do all the hours I needed.  Not one.

It's that one morning hour. Add some housekeeping to make it 3 hours, and you could find someone. No au pair would take that job either. Even at $25/hr, 25 hours/wk doesn't pay enough to live independently.[/quote]

On year 11 of hosting.  Au pairs love the job.  Not sure what you're talking about....
