[quote=Anonymous]I can see why hosting an AP might not be attractive to everyone, but it works well for our family. We have two kids in elementary school who need care for a few hours in the morning before school and a few hours after school. Good luck finding a reliable nanny or such that would work 20 hours a week from 7am to 9 am and 4 pm to 6 pm. The flexibility is also very important. Live in childcare takes a lot of the stress out of when kids are sick, or when school closes for snow days or early release or teacher workdays. It also helps out a lot if you and your spouse work long irregular hours and/or travel for work a lot. Our kids also like have an AP, since the relationship is more like having an older brother/sister than a nanny.[/quote]
