[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am concerned that having an au pair who knows little English will negatively impact my child's oral language development. Anyone else have thoughts on this?[/quote] Check out the au pair sub forum for this question. OP, you can't look at an au pair simply as a child care solution - it means inviting a young woman into your family for a year. It is a huge commitment. You want an experienced nanny, preferably one who has worked side by side with parents before. Plenty of us don't mind so long as the personality fit is right and the expectations are clear to both the adults and the kids (like if nanny tells the three year old it's lunch time and she runs to you instead, you back up the nanny with a "Miss Julie asked you to sit at the table and you need to listen to her.")[/quote]
