[quote=Anonymous]Good input, PP with the computer issues :) The price difference between a live-out nanny and an au pair gets thrown around a lot as an indication that au pairs are "cheap" labor and that's why host families choose them. I always caution that if you're choosing an au pair because it is cheaper, then both you and the au pair are going to be really really sorry. PP is right that it is a fundamentally different relationship. If you seriously just want someone to take care of your kids and then leave you alone, you are going to be miserable with an au pair really quicly (and the au pair will be miserable with you). I imagine there are many many families that wouldn't think the $10k a year you're going to save on an au pair versus a live-out nanny is anything close to worth all the stress of sharing your home and life with an au pair.[/quote]
