[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I avoid family like yours! On top of that I'm sure you're paying them dirt compare to professional nannies from this area.[/quote] We would only consider a nanny who spoke one of our family languages - which is not Spanish - and drives well -so that rules out 99% of "professional nannies" in the DC area. Having an au pair is roughly $40K a year for our family. If your critique is that au pair stipends are too low - that is an issue that could be debated - adjusting the stipend - and also adjusting family deductions for room/board makes sense given inflation. Of course, there are ZERO nannies that would be interested in early morning and afterschool hours which amounts to 15 hours of childcare per week, including you, so your need to chime in, here, is curious.
