[quote=Anonymous]100% do not waste another thought on the AP program for your described needs.  These girls just don't have the endurance for what you describe even if they appear willing and able.  You are talking about a young woman child who really came to the USA for an "adventure", not to work 50+ hours per week and then willingly want to "hang out" and help with infant/preschooler dinner, bath, and bedtime...which in all honesty is never a lot of fun which is why you (and we!) all want help with it.

If you have the money to throw at it, I have seen people who have a nanny during the day and use AP for early morning, evening, and weekend help, but this isn't going to be an appealing schedule to most APs either.

And I have seen some families who get 2 APs to cover the hours that you are describing.

Bottom line, one AP is never going to cut it for you.  I don't say that in a mean way, just reality.

The AP program is best suited for families with school age children and/or who don't need over 40 hours for infants/toddlers (flex schedule between HD and HM).[/quote]
