[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Add me to the list of those who think 8-10 hours a day with an infant is too much for most au pairs to handle solo. If you feel like you have found a good IQ candidate and want to proceed, please be sure to provide support in the form of a daily activity such as a music class, play group etc. One other idea is to join a gym with a nursery so the au pair could take the baby there for an hour of respite each day. Or even better a part time day care situation where for a couple half days a week the AP is off. [/quote] +1. I'm sure you could find a qualified AP, and you'll hear stories from people who have successfully had APs for their newborns, but as a longtime HM there's no way I would trust my kid with one.[/quote]
