[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The APs in my community are lovely women and I am a fan of the program for older children, but it blows my mind that people entrust their babies and toddlers with an AP. They don’t know anything and bring no external knowledge to the table. They don’t engage as well as any nanny or parent that I’ve seen, and they are FAR less concerned about general safety. It is seriously mind boggling. [/quote] That's not true - our German au pair had a degree in early infant/child care from a university, worked in a "creche" ( (literally, “crib” or daycare for ages eight weeks to three years) for two years before she came to us, and she was more well versed in infant/toddler care than I was. Now that she is back home, she heads an entire daycare center. You just have to find the right fit.[/quote]
