[quote=Anonymous]As an experienced host mom who have hosted multiple au pairs, I think you need to think through this decision very carefully. For an au pair go with au pair Extraordinares from au pair in America, they have nannying experience or other professional qualifications and can be great for very young children. Au pairs are a lot of work and is much more expensive than what the agency is would lead you to believe. Here is what I would do. Cut down or cut out the preschool for now and keep the wonderful nanny. If that doesn’t work then put the youngest in full day daycare since most of the time you both WFH, you would be able to manage the pick ups and drop offs. Choose a daycare where your eldest can be bussed to from the elementary school so that you can pick up both kids at the same time. If these options do not work, then consider an au pair. [/quote]
