[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I also have three kids, older than yours but similar age spread. There's no WAY I would have relied on an au pair for childcare when they were little. Even now, it's not appealing. Keep in mind that you'll need a good bit of space for this person to live in, and also that most au pairs are very young themselves. I don't want a fourth child to parent. I'd do either nanny or daycare, personally. If the latter, we found it worthwhile to be at an established center that had a robust preschool curriculum, so the kids could stay until kindergarten. Not cheap, but worth every penny, IME.[/quote] We found the same. Right now we have one in a nannyshare and one in preschool (will enter k next year). It’s more driving but I feel like they’re both getting a lot out of it and far more engaged than they would be with an au pair. [/quote]
