[quote=Anonymous]Agree with the PP. Same as nanny share, less than nanny. But the relationship is a very different one. An au pair is not your employee. You are taking in a young woman into your family. She is there for family traditions, you are there for her when she is sick, homesick, or heartbroken. It takes a lot of mental energy to integrate your au pair and to get to know a complete stranger, who from one day to the next will be sitting at your dinner table. You also get a lot in return. We enjoy the energy that these young women bring into our house. We love watching them mature during the year that they spend with us. But if you are not interested in this exchange, you are setting yourself (and your au pair) up for failure. We have had four au pairs and we are having a nanny now. So I know the difference. The money is one part of it, but there is much more to it than money.[/quote]
