[quote=Anonymous]Those are good ages. We began when our kids were 1, 3 and almost 6. We are still hosting at just turned 7, 9 and almost 12. I think the baby stage is hard if you want any sort of flexibility with your schedule. Once the kids are in school, even pt, it’s easier for both the family and the au pair. We are not likely going to stop hosting until our youngest is 12 or so, and old enough to go places on his own. Due to our work, we need flexibility and often use evening hours, and that isn’t something we can easily find with a nanny or occasional sitter. With 3 kids and different activities, even if I can manage one or two kids after school we still need help (I work during the school day and try to be available after school to do the shuffle).[/quote]
