[quote=Anonymous]We used EurAuPair. I don't recommend, as they don't have a huge network. I think you may be able to look at the candidates at each agency before contracting with the agency. I could be wrong, but its worth asking, to see if you can get a sense of their candidate pool. Be very specific about the cooking expectations. Our au pair considers microwaving chicken nuggets to be "cooking." We have not asked her to do anything beyond making cereal for breakfast, PBJs for lunch and mac and cheese for dinner. I don't think she has the ability / desire to do anything beyond that. I was excited about my au pair doing the kids laundry but she was just so darn terrible. Would not pretreat anything, would not sort laundry, ruined / shrunk a bunch of things before I resumed the responsibility. So either plan on outsourcing to a qualified third party, doing it yourself, or spend some time (and patience!) teaching your au pair how to do laundry. [/quote]
