[quote=Anonymous]I know a few families who have an au pair for their elementary kids (one family has 3 kids, ranging from K to 5th). In that family, Dad travels a lot and mom wanted to be able to focus on work without always having to drop everything. I don’t know about doctor’s appointments and school performances (though I think I’ve seen at least one parent at all of them), but au pair is certainly part of the morning and evening routine, doing school pickup and drop off. One family I know the parents have normal 9ish-5ish jobs and the youngest is not in school so the au pair works roughly office hours. The families where all kids are in school happen to have 2 parents with more demanding time intensive or less flexible jobs and the au pair has dinner with the kids without parents some nights. What I’m saying is that may be something to investigate. [/quote]
