[quote=Anonymous]My family is considering an au pair. I've read a little about the current situation with the settlement and am trying to get a bit more information about what it all means before we contact agencies. You all are always so wise and knowledgable I thought I would begin here! In short, we are trying to determine whether having an au pair will be a possibility, or really, if there is any financial incentive to do so (if we will be paying minimum wage--which goes to $13.00/hr in MoCo this summer, I believe--with no deductions PLUS agency fees it is likely to be more expensive than having a nanny). Our twins will be 2.5 (in nursery school half days) and the new baby would be about 4 months. We are in Montgomery County and would really only be likely to use 32-38 hours of care per week. Can someone explain what seems to be happening related to stipends and whether I am missing something about the financial piece? Thanks so very much.[/quote]
