[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The families I know who have had the best luck with APs have been the firmest about their requirements (safe/confident driver, able to help with homework, whatever) and willing to re-match as many times as necessary to get a fit. I hear more complaints about the agencies than I do the APs themselves (which tend to be more along the lines of standard teenage/young adult complaints - moodiness, messiness too much time on phone).[/quote] +1 A lot of au pairs are older teenagers. Some are very responsible, others do things like not showing up to work because they partied too late on the weekend. There's a reason they're half the price of a nanny. If you're flexible and can pick up the slack if needed, it can save you a lot of money. [/quote]
