[quote=Anonymous]I am a single mom who has had several au pairs. One thing I will tell you is that each of my 4 au pairs have loved working for a single mom and all said that it was a plus when looking at family profiles. My children are also school-aged. During the week she does the morning routine...supervises breakfast (they get their own toast, fruit, cereal etc) and drops off at school. She picks up at school and makes dinner. she can help with homework if needed. If I have something to do in the evening, she covers that and if not, she's done after dinner and cleaning the kitchen. On weekends if I have a meeting or other conflict she'll babysit and take them to any activities. She's also travels with us, which is a big help. Because your child is school-aged, you will have very few, if any, gaps. [/quote]
