[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, thank you.  I can’t imagine the heartbreak to my kids to lose their live-in nanny after a year only to be replaced by another who will leave in a year.  It can’t be good for young children and babies.  [/quote]

This isn’t a thing. We had a professional nanny for 3 years before going into the au pair program. My kids were totally happy with all transitions.  Nannies and au pairs are not parents. It’s not really any different from changing child care providers at day care centers each year or changing teachers at school each year. Most live in nannies and au pairs don’t spend all their time off with the host family. They are pretty independent.

Then you have someone to keep in touch with in other countries and to go visit.

NP.  I totally disagree.  It would have to be “a thing” to a young child as si pairs, by description, live in the child’s home and become part of the family.  This is absolutely the polar opposite of daycare teachers and switching rooms.  Au pairs are supposed to spend time with the HOST family (they don’t even call you employers - they call you hosts.  With all we know about attachment disorders, I just wouldn’t risk it.  [/quote]
