[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's really not that different from hiring a college aged babysitter. We treat our au pairs well and they have a great year. We didn't have a good experience with a nanny. Ours was always very unhapppy and trying to get away with doing as little as possible. I'm sure there are good nannies, but we didn't find one. Using a nanny is no more of a sure thing than an au pair, IMO.[/quote] You would pay a college kid $20/hr or more. That's the difference.[/quote] And the college kid would not be living in your home. They would come over, watch the kids for the agreed upon time, and then leave. You would not be responsible for providing the college kid with a phone. You would not be responsible to treat the college kid like a family member and include them in holidays and every family meal. [/quote]
