[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with others that the hidden costs of an au pair can add up. While the cost of an au pair will probably* be less than a nanny, keep in mind you are giving up a year of privacy and taking on a greater emotional load with an AP than you would with a nanny. Def look into a nanny share. If you do pursue an au pair, screen very hard. [b]Our AP claimed she had a ton of experience with babies; when she got here, it was clear she had never put on a diaper or fed a bottle.[/quote][/b] They do this on purpose and it is well-known in the AP community. They plan to re-match as soon as possible after they arrive. They just need to get here. [/quote] Extremely well known. Infant qualified aupairs are in higher demand here. Just get to the USA and then rematch. That is typical advice. It's really upsetting. Not all countries are the same with recruitment. [/quote]
