[quote=Anonymous]OP, An Aupair costs so much more in emotional overhead than a part time $25/hr nanny. It’s another person living in your home that you need to manage. While there are benefits with some flexibility for childcare hours, the drawback is trying to find an Aupair willing to work off hours or a schedule that changes. Hidden charges, contracts which are biased towards the company and risky for the family, unpredictable visa and personality risks involved. Unless you need 45 hours of childcare and an Aupair has a ton of pros for your family, it’s not worth the cons. [/quote]
