[quote=Anonymous]Definitely agree that you should look for a job asap but an Au pair will have a lot of upfront costs that your engagement ring unless pretty high end may not cover (and you’ll likely take a huge hit on resale). With elementary aged kids I’m not clear why you need someone around full time, even accounting for special needs/illness. Your spouse (who presumably hasn’t had to burn leave days for sick kids/child care/medical appointments in recent years while you were staying home) will just have to start using some while you build up a balance. Even if for some reason that’s truly not an option there are definitely cheaper options than having a near full time employee on call in the event of a sick kid.[/quote]
