[quote=Anonymous]Newly single mom with primary care of my children and I'm trying to figure out a way to make it work. I have one school aged child and one child who is 4. Their school and day care are close together and in our community. I'm weighing an au pair for morning getting them ready for school and drop off etc vs. hiring a caregiver. This would allow me an early start to work and easier ability to pick them up after. Since I would only need an au pair limited hours (ie before school, some after schools/occasionally driving my child to therapy and some weekends), can I request the schedule or are there rules around them not having to work weekends, etc? I can't imagine it would be more than 10-20 hours weekly. Has anyone tried an au pair or a sitter for these kind of limited hours? What worked better for you? For what its worth, I don't make tons of money and an au pair would be a stretch but I'm trying to figure out how to make this transition work. Thanks![/quote]
