[quote=Anonymous]APs are much more flexible than aftercare, as they can work when kids are sick or during school holidays or teacher work days or snow days. Since you are single they can also watch the kids while you go out with friends or on dates at night. No downsides really, except you will probably spend a lot more money with an au pair than you would with before and after care at school. I think our average cost per year once you add in the stipend, agency fees, car insurance and another car, cell phone, extra food, and all of that is probably around $20,000 - $25,000 a year or so.[/quote]
