[quote=Anonymous]We have had both. Au pairs are not professional childcare providers. They require a lot of handholding. For example, they won’t be coming up with educational activities to do with your child. While the cost of an au pair is lower, you also get a lower quality care. And there is the additional mental cost of integrating an young adult into your family. You need to make sure that they are happy. You stay up and talk to them in the evening, rather than just going to bed for some “me” time. You have to be there for them when they are dealing with being homesick or heartbroken. They are always there! That being said, if you find a good au pair, it can be great. You can make connections for life. [/quote]
