[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am baffled as to how anyone things the au pair program is cheap childcare? It is not cheap. We make $110,000 which is not a lot for this area I know but we cannot afford an au pair. The weekly fee to the au pair, sure, but the agency fees, travel costs, car costs, cell phone etc, all add up and make it unaffordable for us. The advantage I see is that you can flex the hours more with an au pair than you can with a Nanny.[/quote] The program might be expensive, but the cut the APs actually get is quite shameful. If you look at the bare minimum they are to receive, you'd have a hell of a time finding a live-in nanny, even an inexperienced one for that rate. [/quote]
