[quote=Anonymous]Just to chime in on having an Au Pair for an newborn - I think it can work just fine, but you need to screen well and have realistic expectations. We chose an au pair with significant infant experience and I worked from home the first month she was here in order to make sure she was well trained before leaving her alone with the baby. Keep in mind the au pair can't be alone in the house with an infant under 3 months old and can't work more than 45 hours a week, which can be a challenge if you can't stagger schedules or have a long commute. We used Interexchange and were pleased with them, though I agree with PPs about the smaller candidate pool.[/quote]
