[quote=Anonymous]We quit when kids were K and 2nd grade thinking we'd use after school care. Turned out it was stressful to arrange care every time there was a no school day or early release or kid had a soccer practice, etc. and the after school program didn't do "homework" with the kids (even though they are little, they still had reading or a math page to do most nights). We were all exhausted by it. When I looked at the costs it was also not that different. On paper it was only $3k more for an Au Pair and I know that doesn't take into account the extra food and other expenses....but it also didn't take into consideration the date nights that we needed a sitter for and the days my husband and I needed to take a day off because a child was feeling under the weather. I still assume we are actually out of pocket at least 3k more for an au pair but it's worth it to us! I'm guessing we'll stop when they are middle schoolers.[/quote]
