[quote=Anonymous]I think you have to look at your family circumstances to decide if an au pair is the best route for you. If both spouses have inflexible jobs and no local family then it can be a godsend. With an infant you do need to be careful choosing your au pair. During the screening process ask specific questions like 'tell me your favorite part of the day with a baby, and tell me your least favorite part' or 'what would you do if a baby is fussy'? We have had the best experience with our current au pair from Mexico and I would absolutely trust her with anything. My kids love her, she has tons of energy to play with them and we always have childcare when needed. Another perk is that unlike a nanny, they are in your home so you have plenty of time to discuss the babies development and any issues. Our nanny was always halfway out the door when we arrived home whereas our AP eats dinner with us and tells us funny/ interesting things that the kids did during the day. [/quote]
