[quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry for your loss. I agree with the poster who said you and he need to work together to figure out a plan and brainstorm solutions. I imagine that you’re locked in to the au pair for the year, but that may not be the best fit long-term for his age or needs. What about making a plan together to get through the next x months with the au pair, and then hiring, say, a half-time housekeeper to help with household things, drive him, etc.. That way it’s not a babysitter, per se, but is another set of hands (and of eyes on him if he’s struggling). He can be involved in helping choose the person you hire. While this is undoubtedly expensive, it’s less expensive than quitting your job, and also provides him additional stability.[/quote]
