[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Au pairs take up a TON of time. That's one of the things that bothers me when people say that people get au pairs just because they're cheap. For one, they're not cheap. But secondly, what you're saving in money versus a nanny, you are more than spending in your own time and irritation :) That's why I would never recommend an au pair just for someone who wants to save some money on child care. You have to want the cultural exchange and the getting to know and accept a young adult. Best of luck! [/quote] YES! But I don't think most au pairs realized how much we do and/or give up because we want to get to know them and enjoy having them around. Some au pairs think that this is a great deal for the families...but it's really not a "deal" at all. And if we and our kids don't have a positive relationship and experince that outweighs all the extra work and annoyances that come with hosting, we will not be happy campers. [/quote]
