[quote=Anonymous]We currently have an au pair who is taking care of our 6 yo, 4 yo and 5 month old baby.  She starting working with us two months before I delivered, and it was the best decision to have an au pair with an infant.  First of all, it was a stress reliever to know that she would be able to take care of our kids in the event I went into labor.  And she did just that, with my husband coming back home once my mom was able to fly in and stay with me at the hospital (they switched off).

I was home for 3 months, so I was able to slowly get the au pair acquainted with our baby and her particular ways.  Because of the 3 month rule, she wasn't able to watch the baby by herself, but she helped out by watching her while I was napping in the next room, washed bottles, etc.  Our kids adore her and it has been such a huge help.

We looked for someone with lots of infant experience and multiples experience (watching more than 2 kids at a time).

For us, au pair was more helpful than nanny (having had a nanny for 6 years).[/quote]
