[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I too went from a long term professional nanny to an AuPair. It was like flying first class and then having to take a Greyhound bus. I lasted 2 years and had what most would cosider "great " AuPairs, but they did not even come close to what one get when you hire a professional nanny. We've recently moved on from the AP program and I found a wonderful person to help us 20hrs a week. This person does all of our grocery shopping, basic meal prep, all laundry, and makes sure the kids start their homework, checks for completion and makes all school lunches for the next day before leaving. For this I pay $420/week, which is, when all said and done, the same price as the AuPair program. I get so much more and get to skip the drama and hassle. FWIW, I don't need morning care. Getting help around the household is tremendous. AuPairs, as great as my 2 were, were a ton of work for me.[/quote] What about during school vacations and summers?[/quote]
