[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s the flexibility that makes it attractive. Most people I know don’t use the full 45 hours, but it’s great to have someone do an hour in the morning before school, then a couple of hours after school and some evening babysitting as needed. [/quote] This. Professional nannies want full time work and full time pay. Its v hard to find someone to do before and after school care or work on the weekends. I was an au pair for a year. I had a horrible family at first who took advantage but then i requested a rematch and had a wonderful family in DC whom I loved. They were very good to me. I am a parent now and teh au pair program is not cheap, its actually pretty expensive. Doesnt make sense for us as we only have one kid. [/quote] It's still cheap compared to center care for multiple kids in a big city, or a fulltime legally-hired nanny.[/quote]
