PP is accurate and so are you there are many reasons a family may choose an au pair over a nanny and op family needs may be best met with an au pair now, but that doesn't change that 4 years of raises and the nanny is just now above an au pair wages nanny started off very low. Op hinted at that and has conveniently not disclosed what nanny makes.

Actually, OP mentioned that she needs flexible hours from week to week, and that on average nanny works 15-20 hours per week. Assume even 20 hours per week, then assume $20/hr rate that no one will argue is low. With the employment taxes you get about $23K per year for nanny cost. Au pair program with all the fees loaded is also about $23k/ year give or take. So the equivalent in cost is at a pretty reasonable nanny rate given OP situation. OP just doesn't need full time child care and worries that she won't be able to find another nanny with the flexibility to work the hours OP needs. I concur that it will be harder to find a replacement in this case vs a full time nanny.[/quote]
