[quote=Anonymous] I will agree with the general consensus that the au pair program is not a good fit for you. You should know that whether you go with an au pair or a nanny, you should expect to pay for all hours worked. So even if you get a live in nanny, the fact that you are inviting them to dinner does not mean that they are responsible to help with your children in anyway during that time. So if you want help essentially from the time your children wake in the morning until the time they go to bed, plan to have paid childcare for all of that time. If you cannot afford that, then you will have to plan to caring for your children solo. If you are consistently expecting ANY caregiver to work for free, you are going to be left in the lurch when they quit unexpectedly.[/quote]
