[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had this exact scenario and an au pair was the perfect choice. What is particularly nice about an au pair is that the schedule can change so easily. My biggest goal was for the baby not to spend first year in car as I drove the other three to preschool, classes, events. It was wonderful not having to wake baby up from naps, not rush him through feedings. It also allowed individual time with the older three without feeling overwhelmed- and individual time sometimes was a project with the au pair. Some weeks I knew I had evening events and could switch up au pair’s schedule. I was already dealing with 4 personalities so the idea of having a stable of babysitters to take on extra nights on top of a nanny who wanted a M-F daytime inflexible work schedule just was not a good fit for my first 18m with 4. We had a nanny before and after this time (first nanny moved 2 months before 4th was born-luckily not a surprise!) I say yes OP-good plan[/quote]

Four kids is too much for an au pair.  What was good for you was that she was an indentured servant to your and your brood.  Stop having so many kids if you can't take care of them.  Get some birth control or keep your legs crossed![/quote]
