[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you considered an Au pair? They are a less expensive option, are flexible and can work 40 hours a week, and work when the kids are sick, but need to live in and can be more difficult than a professional nanny. When we didn’t have a nanny and we had an emergency, we paid a family friend’s Au pair under the table to watch our children during school hours when their own kids were in school, so around 9-3. We only did this for a week or two. We were able to flex time to be at home the other hours. [/quote] We have an AP. It’s actually more care than we need at this point, but our jobs also do not have much flexibility as far as sick days go. Also, the going rate in our area (~$25/h) makes this a more economical option even compared to a PT nanny. [/quote]
