[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Au pair is $200/wk plus you pay the agency another $200/wk to provide an infrastructure, training, plane tickets, visa, health insurance, etc.

Well, not to mention that you pay for ALL their food, it's customary to take them on vacation, and if you are anything like our family and have school aged kids, they often are working sub 20hrs a week.

We had a live in when the kids were little and she bought most her own food, paid for her own gym, and never went on vacation with us. We paid $500/wk.[/quote]

I do not disagree with this, but having had both the live in and AP (as I posted earlier on this thread) a live in nanny is not the same as an AP who has the agency/infrastructure behind  the service.
Personally, I am over the live in nanny or AP.  We are currently doing the math on finding a non-live in nanny for about 35k a year, working maybe 30 hours a week max but reliable.  Nothing is perfect, but dependability is worth every dollar when you find it.[/quote]
