[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[/quote] You get what you pay for folks. An au pair is basically a teenager, who you pay $4 for. Your expectations of an au pair is the same as your 14 year old neighbor who babysits on an odd evening: call 911 if something terrible happens. If you want more, get a nanny, and of course expect to pay more. I'm sick of hearing about rediculous parent expectations of au pairs. They are basically teenagers, don't know anything about kids and just want to experience America. Sorry the agency lied to you and gave you some bullshit to get your money.[/quote]
