[quote=Anonymous]Au Pair novice here... browsing through the archives tells me that the 45 hour weekly limit is a hot topic... I'm just trying to figure out if this might be a good solution for our family next year. we will have one kid in PK3 and an infant. I anticipate needing care for the infant from 8am to 6pm, plus some school pickups for DC1 in that time frame. But then i would also appreciate help around dinner and bedtime. so realistically, our needs are more like 8am-7pm or more daily. I think the evening help would be more flexible and informal, the AP would be invited to have dinner with us anyway, etc. Is this untenable in an au pair set up to seek evening help if it is over the 45 hrs? or is it feasible to expect more than 45 hrs if i'm willing to pay OT? Can i be upfront about my real anticipated needs per week and iron that out above board in my AP search? or will i be shut down immediately by the agency if i suggest i would like more than 45 hrs? Thanks![/quote]
