[quote=Anonymous]I am guilty of venting on this forum, but I DO love having an AP.

Here are the things that absolutely make it worth it:
1) Flexibility in scheduling---between my schedule and my husband's, we do have odd hours at times so having the felxibility of sticking to a set time or go into overtime is a huge plus.

2) Language--I love how the kids are learning and being exposed to different languages and we encourage that

3) Role Modelling--I also love how the kids are being exposed to young women who are doing this program so that they can think about working in another country

4) Sick days---one of my kids has asthma so is sick a lot----Having the flexibility of the au pair helps us tag team.  Same true for the snow days.

5) Learning--We do learn from our APs about thier countries, and they have been open to learning about us.

6) Instant community---APs make friends--very quickly  with other APs, and they make play dates.  We have met other parents through our au pairs, and it's been great.

7) Connection--One of our former au pairs recently finished her master's in education. SHe wrote to us and said thanks because working with us really influenced her decision to pursue this.  That felt great![/quote]
